Pat Riley, the famous basketball coach said, “There’s only two things in this league: winning and misery!” No wonder so many sports figures will do anything to win, including taking steroids, hurting players intentionally, or altering their transcripts so a player can play illegally. No wonder one coach rewards players with stickers on their football helmets for big hits he calls “slobber-knockers”!

    The Lord said a leader is someone who sits at the foot of the table; one who is willing to assist others, pick them up instead of bad-mouthing them down. That’s the real winner. Jesus came to reverse our priorities because our priorities are wrong.

    All our children—all our nations children—will be better off if we follow in Christ’s steps.
