A central conviction of Christianity—and the essential message of the cross—is that victory and transformation come not through conquest and force, but through love and self-sacrifice.
We proudly present the definitive video of "The Run". Ward took the best of the brilliant videos from so many incredible Hoosier fans and created this sensational piece. ENJOY! And I dare you to not get goosbumps and teary-eyed when we see Fernando's parents.

If you look up every place Paul prays for his friends, you will find something absolutely remarkable. …You will see a surprising absence of any prayer for relief from troubles, for healing, for overcoming problems, for happiness. You don’t see him praying for that.
Instead he prays, in the greatest detail, for spiritual insight, an overwhelming sense of the grandeur and glory of God, and a transforming, vivid faith. That’s what he wants more than anything else for his friends. He leaves out all the other things that surely must have been plaguing them. He doesn’t even mention them. – @timkellernyc

In the first century the term Christian was a political term, not a religious one. Followers of Jesus weren’t branded Christian to differentiate them from Zeusians or Jupiterians. The term Christian was coined by pagans based on Latin political terminology. Christian was analogous to Caesariani, a follower of Caesar; Herodiani, a follower of Herod. Christians were viewed as partisans of a king. Rome had little interest in which god or gods people worshiped. Rome’s mandate: worship your gods, but obey Caesar. For Christians, this was a nonstarter. Jesus was a king who required more than worship. He required obedience. No one asked 1st century Christians if they were Christian. They were accused of it. Their behavior gave them away.
The division tearing churches, friends, and families apart isn't fueled by a lack of respect for our infallible text. Division begins with our less-than-infallible applications of the text. James instructs us to be doers, not just hearers. But do what? Turns out the answer has been prescribed and modeled for us in the New Testament. Directions are included on the label. But something else is included on the New Testament label as well: the outcome. If the outcome of our application isn’t as predicted, chances are we’re not taking as directed. When Jesus’s new-covenant teaching is applied as directed, Paul tells us what can be expected. We will do everything without grumbling or arguing. We will become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. And we will shine among them like stars in the sky (see Philippians 2:15). Being right, even believing right, doesn’t make us shine. Applying right is what makes us shine. Let’s not lose our shine.
Christians don't put our hope in defeating our political enemies here and now. Our hope is in the resurrection of the dead & the life of the world to come, which frees us to reject the world’s weapons and tools of power & choose the way of Jesus instead. @kaitlynschiess
