First Baptist Danville Indiana - Pointing People To Christ

It’s HOOPTIME!

Friday, November 13th, 2009 by Jon McDugle

It’s HOOPTIME! I love it when college basketball rolls around each year. One of my favorite games to watch is Indiana and Kentucky. Lately it’s been painful to watch. And our friends who are Kentucky Wildcat fans are the antithesis of Advil when to relieving the pain! But believe it or not something good did come from a Kentucky wildcat! One day a player pulled out the sharpie and put these letters on his hooping shoes, “BHP-FHG”. The letters stand for …By His Power…For His Glory! I love that. Every step he takes is by the power of God and for the glory of God! That’s living in the zone!

John was living in that zone in John 3.30 when he said, “He must become greater; I must become less.”

Paul was praying we would live in the zone in Eph. 1.18,19, “I pray that you may know…his incomparably great power for us who believe!”

Well the Sunday after Thanksgiving is a day you don’t want to miss! We’ll be unveiling one more 3 letter pump up! It’s doesn’t come from a Kentucky wildcat…it comes from a running Israeli named Jonah. The letters are WHH. If you can guess them by Sunday you win Snickers!

Have a great week loving big,

Your brother,

Jon
