The last couple of days we have been watching former Royals player Jeremy Affeldt fulfill an awesome dream. He has pitched twice in the World Series! Jeremy's a genuine Christ follower who went to a small Christian high school and made it all the way to the big leagues.About 2 years ago, Jeremy came on a Sunday night to speak at our church. He did an incredible job. I still remember the message: "The Heart of The King".
He used the movie BraveHeart to illustrate that when an opposing army would kill the king, the king's soldiers would cut his heart out and carry with them to the front lines of the war. The battle cry then became "Follow the heart of the king!"
If we're going to win our battles (personal, relational, financial, spiritual), we must pursue God's heart with a relentless passion. Here's a little William Wallace for your weekend:
Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
