The Cost of Being a Real Christian by J.C. Ryle
It costs something to be a real Christian, according to the standard of the Bible.
There are enemies to be overcome, battles to be fought, sacrifices to be made, an Egypt to be forsaken, a wilderness to be passed through, a cross to be carried, a race to be run. Conversion is not putting a person in an arm-chair and taking them easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.

Ben McDonald with a great story on failing on the biggest stage and bouncing back.
“I never failed at anything in my life…”
Then came the College World Series, a walk-off, an opposing coach talking trash and a punch in the gut he needed.

God calls parents to faithfully teach, model, and pray, trusting Him as the ultimate source of wisdom and the One who alone brings their children to faith.

Never Despise the Law
Hopefully, you understand why God gave us The Ten Commandments. They prepare us for the One who can save us from sin and death. The Law of God prepares the soil of the human heart so that it can receive the seed of the Gospel. It convinces us of the disease, so that we can appreciate the cure. J. C. Ryle said, "Never, never let us despise [the Law]. It is the symptom of an ignorant ministry, and unhealthy state of religion, when the Law is reckoned unimportant. The true Christian delights in God's Law." In speaking of the Christian's attitude to the Law, John Wesley said, "Yea, love and value it for the sake of Him from whom it came, and of Him to whom it leads. Let it be thy glory and joy, next to the cross of Christ. Declare its praise, and make it honorable before all men."
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

Please place the Trapp family in your prayers. Kylie was one of Southeast Soccer’s first players. She played through injury and CV19. She was one of those players who set the foundation at Southeast Soccer that has blessed current and future players.

I don't know a single athlete that wants to go pro that can say, "I am so glad I spent 4+ hours a day scrolling on my phone instead of spending time with my friends, training, or trying to get better at my sport."
You can't have a mediocre routine and expect to be a champion. There's a lot of athletes out there working hard and some that are working even harder and smarter. If you want to compete at the next level you will have to level up and match your effort with what's required. Sometimes that means sacrificing. – at Franklin, TN

Watching Kentucky & their team is getting out coached , outplayed, and just honestly getting embarrassed by Gongaza. Rumor is Kentucky has spent in excess of 20 million on their team. No wonder fans are booing. I wish every team would have to post what each player is being paid.

"All the gospel requires of us is repentance and faith. That's it. Nothing else. 'What about obedience?' That's not what the gospel requires. It's what the gospel produces."

Replying to @WinningCoaches
John Wooden said it best: "Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses."
"Get out there and whatever you're doing do it to the best of your ability."
You can't control everything - But you can control how you show up.
Attitude, effort, and ownership.

Next time you feel unqualified to be used by God remember this, He tends to recruit from the PIT and not the PEDESTAL.
