Sunday Night Football...

Tonight, I was able to get home in time to see the end of the Sunday Night NFL game between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks. I love football, I just can't help it, but what made this game such a pleasure to catch is to know that one of the members of the Church of God of Prophecy is on the field. Last year, on Super Bowl Sunday, I preached at Josh's home church in the morning service, and I know that some of the folks from his church read our blog from time-to-time. Pastor Cabales and the whole church are a great bunch of people...especially at Super Bowl parties where they know how to cook a mean hot-dog and set up the Diet Pepsi one after another.

Josh Brown (Number 3) is the kicker for the Seattle Seahawks. He is a member of our church in Kirkland, Washington, and is not ashamed of his faith, or of his church. In a recent interview, he mentioned the Church of God of Prophecy church services.

Josh won the game with a field goal, his third of the night with only five seconds on the clock. It was a perfect kick...and as John Madden said, "Josh Brown has done it again." The final score was 23-20 because of Josh's three field goals. He also won games in the final seconds with the Detroit Tigers and the Saint Louis Cardinals twice.

At the conclusion of the game, Josh was honored (the first time for a kicker according to Al Michaels) by having his name put up on "the rock" of honor.

Way to go Josh, we are really proud of you! And we're proud of our friends at the Kirkland church too!

Wow another reason to be a Seahawk fan- Being a Bama fan I have followed Shawn Alexander as he has always been vocal of his faith also. Josh's kick was 50 yards-wow!

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...
