@SleeperWhiteSox Miggy!!

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@ChiSoxFanMike .500+ would be amazing!
5-7 would be good.
4-8 would be reasonable.
Anything less would be disappointing.

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@ChiSoxFanMike Nope.

@Noahp245 Tristan Peters! Baseball player.

@things_sox If Antonacci is truly an "elite leadoff" hitter, then the Sox have caught lightning in a bottle. I hope you're right.

@laralogan Yes, dirty fountains and dirty monuments suits the Dems' purposes of a dirty and degenerate society.
Filth begets filth. And they like it that way.

The Desperate Cry for Holy Fire

The modern church is starving in the midst of a banquet. We possess the theology of the Book of Acts, yet we lack the manifestation of its power. We have traded the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit for the ice of religious tradition and the comfort of human centered programs. Revival is not a series of meetings; it is the absolute, terrifying, and glorious invasion of the presence of God into a dead and dying culture.

To pursue revival is to pursue the standard set by the Apostles. It was a standard of total surrender. They did not play games with the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit moved, there was no room for hypocrisy, for the fear of the Lord was the bedrock of their community. We speak of wanting a move of God, yet we recoil when He demands the death of our pride, our comfort, and our carefully constructed reputations.

The Book of Acts was not a polite gathering; it was a series of holy riots. It was the result of men and women who were so saturated with the presence of God that they became walking conduits of His power. They did not just talk about the Kingdom; they demonstrated it. They understood that the Holy Spirit is the liquid fire of heaven, and when He is poured out, He makes the believer contagious.

We have lost the fear of the Lord. We treat the Holy Spirit as a commodity to be managed rather than a Person to be obeyed. We seek the power of the Spirit to make our lives easier, while the Spirit seeks to make our lives holy. Holiness is not a suggestion; it is the atmosphere in which the Spirit dwells.

True revival requires a return to the cross. We cannot have the outpouring of the Spirit without the surrender of the self. The Spirit comes to glorify Jesus, not to build our ministries or inflate our egos. When we truly encounter the holiness of God, we do not walk away feeling comfortable; we walk away shattered, repenting of our sloppiness, our compromise, and our lukewarm devotion.

The Holy Spirit is the oil of heaven. He is residual; He leaves a mark that cannot be washed away by the world. He is the wind that drives us into the harvest, and the fire that burns away our dross. There are no toxic levels of the Holy Spirit. You cannot overdose on the presence of the Almighty.

We must stop striving. We must stop trying to manufacture the move of God with music, lights, and clever rhetoric. We must return to the place of desperation. We must reach out with the faith of a child and grasp the invisible reality of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is within reach. It is available to every believer who is willing to lay down their own agenda and say, "Holy Spirit, take the wheel."

The hour is late. The world is jaded, skeptical, and dying for a lack of genuine, supernatural power. They do not need more religious talk; they need to see the fire of God burning in our eyes and flowing from our hands.

Stop playing with the fire. Stop flirting with the world. Fall on your face before the Father, ask for the baptism of fire, and refuse to leave until you are saturated. The promise is for you. The power is for you. The work of the Kingdom is for you. Lay down your pride, pick up your cross, and let the river of the Holy Spirit flow until the world can no longer ignore the reality of the Risen Christ.

@CoachMarcusMTXE @JWerner247 The Illini have $8 mil

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@takhtehchianmd @CJMooreHoops Now add Milan Momcilovic to the mix.
That kind of depth can secure a championship.

@OptimistSox Nobody hits as well as Vargas did in AAA only to completely disappear in MLB.
He has the necessary tools and all the natural ability.
Just needs to get his innate confidence back.
Patience will pay off when it comes to Miggy!

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@IMAbrose @Champaign_Room @John_Fanta No salary cap, at least not yet.
Illini have some of the deepest pockets in all of NCAA ball.
But maybe the hardest part of adding a guy like Momcilovic to the current roster would be asking all the freshmen to wait their turn.
But that turn could be defending a Championship.

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@WhiteSoxPremium @ElijahEv8 Agreed. Meidroth was slumping badly on the west coast trip - pretty much like the rest of the team - but he has picked it back up a good bit on this homestand.
I still don't see Meidroth as a long term every day starter on a championship team, though.
But a great utility IF.

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@WhiteSoxPremium @MolloyOnBase I know! I wouldn't want to move him off SS.
I don't even like when they play him at 3B in order to get somebody else SS at bats.
I'm just looking at the current make up of the farm system and the prospects already in the pipeline.
Let alone Cholowky as the odds on first pick.

[Tim Landstrom @TimLandstrom]

@tacokingkevin @MolloyOnBase Vargas is the Sox' best hitter.
But I get what you're saying.
