"Sovereignty, Secrets, Steroids and the Son Made Flesh!"
A Treatise on Baseball Rules, Revelations - and God's Righteousness!
Daily Manna's Bible reading: John 1:1-9 (NIV)
Now I'm not a theologian but I guess it would help as I attempt to TACKLE a big BASKET full of dark BASEBALL secrets in the light of God's Word. Let me try!To a Sovereign God, Who knows all, sees all, and IS all, there are no secrets. Perhaps our sports heroes should have realized that - before, not after, the steroids scandal, now exposed to the whole world.......but.......
Before we cast stones at the Mister Baseballs of our world, sad and disappointed as we are, perhaps we should look within and recognize some personal secrets and sins of our own. Shame on ALL of us - yesterday, today and forever - right??
NO, NO, a thousand times no...Why? Because the Son has become flesh and bore our shame - all of it! He knows the inabilities of humanity to keep the rules - to ever meet the standards of a holy God....and that's why He came. That's why there's Christmas......you see, there is HOPE - for you, for me, for all the Mister Baseballs, Basketballs and Footballs in our world......He became one of us that we might be forgiven and become one with Him. It's ours for the asking!
We're talking about more than major sports and deception...we're talking major grace and truth - that He, the Blessed Son of God, made flesh for US, would love us, redeem us and bring us HOME to the God who made us! What a Savior.....What a Lord.......He "who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14 NIV), is here to meet us, not at the manger, but at the foot of the Cross. There we exchange our dark secrets and sinful selves for His own life and righteousness.....what forgiveness, what grace and truth is ours - all of us - this day. Accept it, believe it and have a wonderful day on the baseball diamond of your life, wherever in this redemptive world you live!

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
