This morning I was thinking about 
the Team
Jesus' team.
I am a member of the team....
How do I play?
All in...
All for the team...
This is a big deal
This matters....
or
Just sometimes..
rules are not such a big deal...
I'll play when I want to... or not...
Hey I read the book... we win...
so how I play isn't such a big deal...
after-all
the opposing team
is really just players waiting to get on my team...
right...?
NOT...
Paul talks about that in Eph 6:10-18
and
Luke recorded some of Jesus words
about a Kingdom principle...
8:16  "No-one lights a lamp 
and hides it in a jar 
or puts it under a bed. 
Instead, he puts it on a stand, 
so that those who come in can see the light.
17  For there is nothing hidden 
that will not be disclosed, 
and nothing concealed that will not be known 
or brought out into the open.
18  Therefore consider carefully how you listen. 
Whoever has 
will be given more; 
whoever does not have, 
even what he thinks he has 
will be taken from him."
All in
or all out.
have and get more....
or goof around...
and lose everything.
No middle ground....
I realized that is how a team sport must be played....
I can't play around half on my team half on theirs....
What I do makes a difference to my team...
How I act makes a difference.
And Jesus said
Play ball.
Get in
or 
lose everything.
Lord,
Sometimes I forget about that 
'Team' mindset
That - what I do today
Matters....
All or nothing....
I'm in.
What's the play?
How can we score?
I choose to play well
on the winning team....
Yeah. 
Your Team.
Our team.
:)
