Make Your Weakness Your Strenth

Kobe Bryant, who is one of the greatest basketball players EVER recognized that his post moves needed work. So here called the best post player in the history of the NBA. When I saw this video it really got me thinking about how, we need to do the same in the weak areas of our lives. God has put people around us who are great and its our decision whether we utilize their wisdom or not. Unfortunately most of us don't because we have to much pride. Here is what I love about Kobe Bryant:
1. He recognized that an area of his game needed improvement
2. He was humble enough to seek help
3. He is the best player in the world yet is always coachable
4. He is never satisfied with where he is in his carrer

What areas of your marriage, ministry, vocation, or parenting are your weaknesses? Are you willing to attack your weakness so it can become your strength?

Forgiveness from 1996

This was a very touching illustration of forgiveness. I feel very sorry for Mike Tyson and have always had a heart for him. I love it when we get a chance to see two competitors take the "High Road" and forgive each other, very inspiring!!!
Luke 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

3D Ministry (If you have 3D glasses put them on)

Lately I have been seeing that the film industry has been moving in the direction of 3D. They have even been taking old films and making them 3D so the quality and shapes are move alive t. I was just think about what if we can make the Gospel 3D? What we can make the stories of the most important book in the world COME ALIVE!! I remember the first time the Gospel came alive to me was when I heard Matt Chandler speak my junior year of high school. You make scripture "COME ALIVE" by "Telling the Story" taking people with you. Yesterday I was watching "The day After Tomorrow" and the first scene was in Greenland during a blizzard. I had my window open because it was cold outside. This is how great our God is, right then the coldest breeze came in my window and I remember thinking "I feel like I'm in this movie" and I thought to myself how AMAZING would it be to let our students experience the gospel in the same way. Obviously this is waaaay out of the box but what a great goal. I love "Google Earth" anywhere in the world you want to go, it will take you there. We need to do the same thing in ministry tell the story and take your audience with you!!!
