This past weekend, a die hard Phillies fan pointed out something to me about the Phillies. They are about to lose their 10,000th game (as of today they have lost 9,996 games)! That is more than any other professional sports team in any sport has ever lost! Quite the accomplishment! You can actually follow this feat on the Internet. Just go to http://www.celebrate10000.com/. Finally the Phillies will be first at something! (And some of my friends like to remind me about how bad the Pittsburgh Pirates are!).Having grown up listening many a summer night to the Phillies - my heart goes out to the Phillies and their fans. Losing is never any fun - especially when it happens over and over and over again! But for followers of Jesus - we don't have to worry about losing. Even though there is much disagreement among us about the details of end time events, there is NO disagreement about history's final outcome. Jesus is coming back. He will establish his eternal kingdom. And he will reign as King of kings and Lord of lords - forever and ever and ever! (go ahead and open your Bible and read Revelation chapters 19-22) Even though evil seems to be winning now, take heart my friend, King Jesus IS going to win!
Thanks for listening,
pj
