[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

Ego hates accountability. It wants to blame refs, teammates, or circumstances. The truth cuts past the noise and asks: where did YOU come up short? That honesty is ruthless, but it’s also the humility that makes you better.

Stop looking for the perfect church.

Instead, go worship the perfect God with a congregation of flawed people who need grace just as much as you do.

For the life of me I can’t understand why the other major “championship” games can’t follow suit with the Super Bowl. 6:30EST start on a Sunday is perfectly fine. One thing the NFL does very right is that.

The purpose of life:

Know Jesus.
Make Jesus known.

The Broncos got the most pressures in the NFL from their starting defensive tackle duo. The Seahawks were second. The Rams were third. The Patriots were fourth. I think I just noticed a pattern. (via @NextGenStats).

Billy Graham explaining to Paul Harvey in 1979 why he preached what he preached:

"I'm not proclaiming sociology primarily or politics or how to keep healthy, I'm proclaiming the Word of God, and God's Word is powerful. It's quick and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword, the Scripture says. And I found out a little secret early in my ministry that I could have an outline of four or five points and just quote Scriptures under each one of those points, and those Scriptures themselves did the job...

I believe that I'm quoting the very Word of God to this generation or any generation. And that's the thing, Paul, that never goes out of date, and that's what is hard for secular people to understand that it applies to every generation in every age to every person all over the world."

“Don’t leave Jesus in the manger; don’t remember Him only at Christmas. Instead, learn to walk with Him every day, as you pray and read His Word and ask Him to help you.” #BillyGraham

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Luke 2:21.
Eight days old.
Circumcised according to the law.
And His name was called JESUS.
Not suggested.
Not voted on.
Commanded.

The world has spent 2,000 years trying to bury that name.
They struck it from schools.
Banned it from courts.
Softened it to “higher power” in the churches.
And you wonder why the West is on fire…

In Genesis — He’s the seed of the woman.
In Exodus — the Passover Lamb.
In Leviticus — the Atoning Sacrifice.
In Numbers — the serpent lifted up in the wilderness.
In Ruth — the Kinsman Redeemer.
In Job — the Living Personal Redeemer.
In Psalms — the Praise of His people.
In Isaiah — the Suffering Servant.
In Daniel — the Fourth Man in the furnace.
In Jonah — the Resurrected One.
In Malachi — the Sun of Righteousness.

In Matthew — the Promised Messiah.
In Mark — the Powerful Messiah.
In Luke — the Friend of Sinners.
In John — the Son of God who is also God.
In Acts — the Ascended Lord.
In Romans — the believer’s Righteousness.
In Hebrews — our Great High Priest.
In Revelation — the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Sixty-six books.
Forty authors.
Fifteen hundred years.
One name.
JESUS.

His name is above every name.
At His name, every knee bows.
In His name, demons flee.
In His name, the lame walk.
In His name, sins are forgiven.
In His name, the dead rise.
No other name under heaven by which we can be saved.

The name of Jesus literally means “YHWH Saves.”
He was given that name because He will save people from their sins.
Not might.
Will.

His name is the Word.
His name is Son of God.
His name is Son of Man.
His name is Lamb of God.
His name is the great I AM.
His name is Alpha and Omega.
His name is Wonderful.
Counsellor.
Mighty God.
Everlasting Father.
Prince of Peace.

You want power?
It’s not in your plans.
You want peace?
It’s not in your circumstances.
You want salvation?
It’s not in your effort.
It’s in the name.

Say it out loud right now.
JESUS.
Let your walls hear it.
Let your demons hear it.
Let your children hear it.

The name before time began.
The name after everything burns.
The name that will be on every tongue willingly or unwillingly — when He returns.
JESUS.

Drop His name in the replies.
One word.
Flood this post with the only name that saves.
JESUS.

Tom Brady explains his mental edge and why practice (not gameday) creates separation.

"There was a part of me that was a psychopath out there. I was extremely hypercompetitive every day. I didn't feel like let's get to Sunday and now it's the time...Every day is the time to give your best, even in practice."

Every day your standards are either reinforced or lowered by how you treat practice.

You don’t flip a switch into excellence. You rehearse it daily.

Reminders for gathering with the Church:

The music isn’t about our preferred style, it’s about worshipping Jesus.

The sermon isn’t about entertaining us, it’s about learning the Bible.

In fact, it’s not about us at all, it’s all about the Him. Church is better that way.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]
