The Value of a Super Bowl Victory

I have to hand it to the folks at Mars Hill Church for connecting with various followers of Jesus who are part of the Seattle Seahawks organization and providing video interviews of them.  It helps put things in perspective--that is, that knowing the Lord and being eternally loved by him is FAR more precious than a Super Bowl ring.  Here is an interview with Mark Driscoll asking several of the Seahawks who they think Jesus is.  In this one Russell Wilson is featured and shares his story of faith.  Plus, a 20-minute halftime video is provided--no doubt a more enriching presentation than what will come from the stadium during halftime.

Loving God's Word

I appreciated Steve Fuller's blog post about the treasure we have in the Word of God, the Bible.  He draws attention to a video of a group of Chinese believers receiving their first Bibles--take a look.

Some may call this kind of love for the Scriptures "bibliolatry," but the charge misses the point:  this is not worship of a book but the adoring and trusting devotion of believers for the Lord who speaks to them in his Good Book.  No need to try and drive a wedge between God and his revelation.
