Victory

a Biblical thought...
I've laid down a pattern for you. What I've done, you do. I'm only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn't give orders to the employer. If you understand what I'm telling you, act like it—and live a blessed life. (John 13:14-17)

a Book thought...
Holiness is the opposite of self-absorption. It's about others and it's about God. Our holiness is not merely to help us but also to help the world. (p160 Munn)
a Dave thought...
Last night I went to Telstra Dome and saw Melbourne Victory defeat Chunnam Dragons 2-0 in the soccer as part of the Asian Cup. Although the weather and game were both great what grabbed my attention even more was the diverse crowd of over 23,000 that gathered. You see one thing that the world game brings to Melbourne which no other sport does is the mix of all cultures into one space, there were Greeks, Italians, Spanish, Africans, Koreans and then some of us Anglos. It was an excellent atmosphere and as the Kingdom of God includes all races somehow we should be able share spaces more often. Now the next step is to see if we can encourage our Salvo Corps to also include all cultures. It seems sport sometimes does better than church when it comes to inclusive communities.

Just a thought.
