Admin	Jesus always bats .1000 and even though we may bat .333 fail to hit two thirds of the time we are still eligible for Hebrews 11 faith hall of fame Posted : 19 Mar, 2021 02:19 PM I love baseball. It’s the only sport that doesn’t have a clock. It has so much strategy involved. There’s nothing in all of sports like a ‘baseball rally.’ As Yogi Bera said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” I was thinking of baseball and realized that it has a lot in common with Christianity. So, just allow me to share a few parallels between Christianity and the game I love. 1. They both have rules and boundaries. Every game has these. Even if you play in your backyard, you have rules you have to go by. We used to play with not enough players and have to call a certain section of the field ‘out of play.’ If you hit there, you were out. Christianity has its rules and boundaries as well. You can’t just do what you want and not have consequences. 2. They both are a team sport. Even if you have a Justin Verlander, he can’t do it all himself. He needs a catcher. Even if he pitches a perfect game, it’s not a win unless someone on his team gets a run. You need each other. Christianity is the same way. We all need each other’s participation. We may have individuals who step up and become a mvp of a game or series or even a year, but they could never do it without others. 3. They both are about coming home. When you get up to bat, your ultimate goal is to come home. Go around the bases and touch home plate. Whoever gets the most players to come home wins. Christianity is about going home – Heaven. No matter how many bases we go through in life, we will one day touch home. And we will be winners. Unlike baseball, everyone of us will go home if we have trusted Christ as our Savior. 4. They both are a long, slow game with lots of second chances. You may have struck out the first time, but hit a home run the next time you’re up to bat. Baseball is a game of second chances. So is our faith. Peter is a great example of a guy who struck out before the cross, then hit a grand slam on the Day of Pentecost. He was in a slump, but after the resurrection he got on a ‘hitting streak.’ Even if you’ve blown it before, hang in there. 5. They both have failure. Even the best hitters fail two-thirds of the time. If you failed two times out of three in your job, you’d get fired. In baseball, a .333 batting average will land you in the Hall of Fame. No matter how poorly we play, God forgives our errors and puts us back in tomorrow’s lineup. No wonder we like baseball. Post Reply

Quote - 'If you >>>stop serving sin,<<< how do you also stop serving righteousness at the same time.' A baffling question INDEED to those serving unrighteousness that David will never answer to because of h scales on his eyes and calloused heart? Crickets are chirping Adam! Post Reply

What does he need to do to actually be productive in the big league in truth in the Bible about Righteousness BY FAITH? Post Reply

Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Post Reply

So here we go again, Flat Earth Teddy and Adam. What must one do to be saved???? Post Reply

Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Believe the Gospel ... Confession ... repent of your sins... Conversion... lifestyle changes!' Well there you go globlet head David! You keep asking what the salvation message is because you don't know, so did you learn anything from Moon also??? Post Reply

John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

You confessed in one of your other silly posts that your leader Adam doesn’t believe in the flat earth like you do, so does that make your leader Adam, a globlet worshipper‼️‼️⁉️⁉️⁉️😂🤣😉😇 Can’t wait for a reply on that one, maybe flat Earth Teddy has converted his lone and lonely leader by now! 😂👌 Post Reply
