Video of the Day: Scene from the 2011 film “Touchback”
Bible Verse of the Day:
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete, 2 Corinthians 10:4-6.
Biblical Connection:
Athletes are conditioned to physically practice until their bodies are properly conditioned and their minds know exactly what to do when they enter an arena, complex or field. Rather than wear his team out on the gridiron, Coach Hand played by Kurt Russell gives his team a simple gameplan, the key to victory, “protect our quarterback.” Scott Murphy played by Brian Presley is the man the offensive line must protect if this underdog team has a shot at victory. As a vision-oriented person, once this key to victory is embraced and teammates take ownership of it, the preparation is complete.
From a spiritual perspective, victory often hinges on one’s degree of belief and faith, Matthew 21:21-22. Yet, the moment doubt comes crashing into dreams of greatness, spiritual momentum can be lost in an instant. Back in Matthew 17:14-18, one of Jesus’ disciples came across such a severe condition, that they were unable to heal this boy. Conditions like this require spiritual weapons as the apostle Paul addresses in a letter to the Church at Corinth. Paul touches on the Armor of God in Ephesians 6:10-20 and the power of the Holy Spirit in 2 Peter 1:3-4. When Christians begin to take their thoughts captive by making their mind obedient to Christ Jesus, past defeats and failures can be transformed into victories in God’s perfect timing, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
