Today is Good Friday. We remember the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.
After being arrested the night before, Jesus was beaten, flogged, crowned with thorns and sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. He carried His cross through Jerusalem and was nailed to it. Darkness covered the land from noon to 3pm. At 3pm He said: “It is finished.” And He died. (John 19:30)
He was taken down from the cross and buried in a tomb before sundown. A large stone was rolled across the entrance and guards were posted outside in fear that His disciples might steal the body and claim He had risen from the dead.
No greater love has ever been shown.
Jesus is King and Lord of all whether you believe it or not… every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess..
The Bible is clear….
“Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.” Luke9:26
Heavenly Father,
please bring healing, comfort, and strength to all who are suffering.
Ease their pain, restore their health, and surround them with peace and hope.
Bless the doctors and caregivers with wisdom and compassion.
In Your mercy, grant recovery and renewed strength.
Amen.
If you’re a Roman Catholic & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he called your religion false, shame on you.
If you’re a member of the LGBTQ community & you support Jaden Ivey being fired because he doesn’t support Pride or gay marriage, shame on you.
If you’re a sports media member & you say Jaden Ivey is mentally ill, shame on you.
Jaden Ivey was fired for simply holding to historical, foundational, Biblical Christian beliefs. No one should be fired for that in the NBA or any other sports league.
If you support Ivey’s firing, the problem is actually with you, not him.
The world said this about Jesus.
“Some said, “He’s demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?”
John 10:20
God The Father said this to Jesus.
“Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.”
Mark 9:7
Jesus reminds us as His Followers
“—If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!”
Matthew 10:25
The world calls us crazy, but God calls us Sons and Daughters.
Jaden Ivey on IG Live: "All I'm preaching is about Jesus Christ and they waived me. They say I'm crazy, I'm psycho…God let these things happen for a reason…When I came into the league all I wanted to do was win championships, get millions of bucks, get that next contract, get all them cars, that's all I wanted–until the Lord showed me. What good is it to gain the world & forfeit your soul? What good is it to not follow the Lord, obey his commandments?…You only get to drive the Ferrari for the time being…when has anyone driven a Ferrari for 10 hours? No one…you only drive it for however long…What good is it gonna do for y'all on Judgment Day if you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ and obey his commandments?…It's not gonna do no good doing your will and trying to win championships…that's where many stumble…That's why you got Steph Curry…he don't know Jesus, and I pray he comes to the truth, that him & his family be saved in Jesus name…All them rings he got…all them rings LeBron got, Michael Jordan got, all them people in the HOF who don't know Jesus Christ, it's not gonna matter on Judgment Day…They gonna try to stop me but I'm not, I'm gonna be speaking the Truth…That's why everybody around me turning their back on me, because of my faith…I didn't get myself waived–I was in the gym today rehabbing…doing my job…doing whatever they said to do…and they kicked me out. And I'm sure every NBA team gonna say the same thing: 'We don't want him, he's too religious for us'…I hope you turn to Jesus Christ…that you can be forgiven of your sin…we've all sinned…there has to be an atonement, there has to be something…God is faithful to do it but…you have to believe…Jesus gives you power over the devil…please turn to Jesus Christ…it's not his will that these players perish in the NBA…they searching for something they not gonna achieve…they got all these goals…they need to be searching what's the next goal I can do for the Lord Jesus Christ…you gotta have faith in Jesus…They gonna cancel me I'm telling you…This word is gonna be preached…He's gonna come like a thief in the night for those who don't believe…nothing good in the world besides following Jesus Christ…Y'all think y'all hidden…He sees the things you're doing at night…the pornography…the fornication…the lying…the physical abuse…the fighting––"
Flight attendant: "I'm sorry to bother you…are you on your mobile?…it interferes with the communication"
Ivey: "May Jesus bless y'all…My god's willing to save the dirtiest of sinners…May you be blessed in Jesus name"
#OnThisDay in 1981, Michael Donald, a 19-year-old Black man, was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan in Mobile, Alabama. His murder is considered one of the last lynchings in the United States.
His mother, Beulah Mae Donald, became known for her relentless pursuit of justice — her actions helped bankrupt the #KuKluxKlan in the state of #Alabama.
Most of you are fairly young bear fans and that’s cool it’s exciting yall bring a sense of reckless fandom that is refreshing I had that once. But you have to be realistic and see what the team is. Right now we are confused roster wise and have not raised our floor
