4-0?

30 01 2007

Tonight the Berachah Bible Church men’s basketball team attempts to remain undefeated in the Fayette County rec league.  Even with the new tithing cap in place, we have managed to be successful during off-season recruiting due to sure-fire evangelistic techniques and more aggressive “sheep stealing,”  and have assembled our first well-rounded and winning team.  If you can pull yourself away from American Idol tonight, come see the boys in action at 8:00 pm in the old Fayette County high school gym.

I also refuse to make any boastful predictions about our team’s potential success, particularly during the post-season tournament.  I have learned my lesson since last time . . . and the time before that.





Creflo the Dollar versus John the Baptist.

Add this to the list of things that Jesus and I disagree with Mr. Money about–our evaluation of John the Baptist.  Go ahead and disagree with me, but I wouldn’t question Christ, who said, “among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist!” (Mat. 11:11).  The preacher from just down the road thinks that it was John’s fault he was beheaded because he “lost his head” in anger and unbelief about Jesus (Mat. 11:1-6).  I have been preaching through Matthew and am in chapter 3 right now.  In my “research” on this passage, I came across this video.  Here is a great example of how NOT to handle the Scriptures.

*BTW, this is the first video I have ever posted.  I have tried before and failed.  I’m quite puffed up with pride at this moment.





Giddy Up!

It would stink to be a Sooner fan this morning.  I should know as I come from a family of them.  I am the only member of my immediate family who was born and raised in Texas.  My mother and brother were born in OK and are dyed-in-the-wool OU fans.  My dad is from KS and therefore . . . well, there’s really no explanation needed.  So it has always brought much delight to me whenever Oklahoma gets beat.  And kuddos to Boise State for their clever and exciting victory over OU last night.  I will eat some french fries in their honor.
