Character
Going on Offense and Defense
Sunday Bowl 57 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles showcased some of the best offense and defense ever seen in football.
True, the offenses were better in the Chiefs 38-35 win, but both teams made it to the big game by playing good defense. Philadelphia, the best defensive team in the NFL, didn’t live up to that billing in the second half–and lost.
Here’s how we can apply the lessons of football to the current culture war for Western Civilization. People of faith must turn up the heat offensively and defensively to save their nations.
Here’s how.
Be Faith Full
No, that’s not a typo in the title. I know how to spell the word “faithful. ”
I just typed it that way for emphasis.
The secular world often labels followers of Jesus “the faithful,” and their definition seems to imply we’re loons, fanatics, or non-thinking people. The truth is quite the opposite.
Faithfulness is a main characteristic of God (Psalm 92:2)–and should describe us also.
Here’s what it means.
My USA Midterm Elections Plea
There are three primary ways we can make a positive difference in people’s lives.
First, in every country, you can intercede for God to intervene, save, and bless the affairs of individuals and your nation. Second, in all nations, you can make a personal impact through works of compassion, service, wisdom, and truth-sharing with others.
Third, only in free nations, can you make a difference by voting consistently and wisely for good leaders.
Here is my USA midterm elections plea to all who care about America’s future.
