April 11, 2007-Win Forever!

Win Forever is a motto we have selected for our Football Program. While to the casual observer it might seem that we are preoccupied with winning every game, every year---That would be nice and we want to win every time we play; but, that is a narrow definition of winning forever. We want all our players to Win For Eternity! Recently Mark Cahill spoke during DNOW week at our Church. Mark is a former College Basketball Player from Auburn, who has dedicated his life to serving Jesus and leading others to a saving knowledge. He wrote a book entitled "One Heartbeat Away...The premise of his Message is "If it all ended to day do you know what is on the other side?" Can you Imagine Jim Nantz (CBS) asking that question to the Kansas Basketball Team or John Madden asking the New York Giants that Following the Super Bowl? What I have found is that Winning games is fun; but, after a while the thrill and the Crowd goes away....God never goes away and our worth to him has been proven by his sending Christ to die for us prior to our winning that championships or setting that record. Mark was able to ask that question to a very notible golfer playing in this weeks Masters....the Golfers response...."I don't Know"....Let's pray for courage to witness and for the souls of those that don't know Jesus.....Let's help Others WIN FOREVER!

Below is a link to place that can help you answer that question....
