Were TEC or the Anglican Communion a sports team, the coaching staff would be fired and disruptive players let go.<br /><br />Don't know if you are here in the States or another part of the world, but to sell an NFL playbook to a rival is akin to industrial espionage - it would be investigated by the FBI and face Federal prosecution! Yet we have too many within our churches who are, whether they realize it or not, working for "the other team," which is the world, the flesh and the devil.TLF+https://www.blogger.com/profile/01650010433581488888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-8045876862423935192010-10-05T17:06:48.930-05:002010-10-05T17:06:48.930-05:00I don't intend this as idle snark, but a good ...I don't intend this as idle snark, but a good beginning might be to start playing against the Other Team rather than against yourselves?<br /><br />JPBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-57673301440012661112010-10-04T13:12:08.135-05:002010-10-04T13:12:08.135-05:00AMEN Underground Pewster!AMEN Underground Pewster!Kim Larsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-873059253261642303.post-65669603838708830532010-10-04T11:26:14.009-05:002010-10-04T11:26:14.009-05:00The playbook used to be something we called the Bi...The playbook used to be something we called the Bible. Every team in the league seems to start there, but the losing teams are those that do not study the playbook, or whose coaches either scoff at the old plays or put in new ones (that won't work), or whose coaches can't coach the players up. In a league full of nice coaches who like to take it easy on their players, we need to look for some tough, old school, hard nosed, Lombardi types who we might hate, but eventually will come to love because they want us to win eternal glory.<br /><br />Some plays are like the power sweep, or the draw play, plays that every team must master. <br /><br />Acts 8:30-40 is a good play to shoot for.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
