Today, in some capacity, you will fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Chances are, you already did! We need to be forgiven, and God provides his most significant mercy on the Cross of Christ (Romans 3:24-25).
God's most significant objective in my life, from salvation until Jesus returns, is sanctification. We want our lives to be comfortable, successful, and predictable, but God is willing to compromise all of these in order to deal with our deepest difficulty: indwelling and remaining sin.
@Hoopss Lol that actually didn’t make me think about that at all. Especially in the East, where at the time, it was pretty much accepted that the conference was a joke, and sub .500 teams consistently made the playoffs. But good luck with your revisionist history efforts!
It baffles me that we can board a plane and place our lives in the hands of a pilot we’ve never met, or step into an Uber with a complete stranger behind the wheel, yet we often struggle to trust the God who is perfectly good, all-knowing, and completely in control.
LeBron’s off the court team is one of the main reasons Bron gets as much hate as he does. They’re so busy trying to craft his legacy through narrative control that it’s off putting and looks inorganic.
