Hall of Fame member, Art Monk, shared his testimony. As he described a small group Bible study that he attended while a wide-receiver for the Washington Redskins, I could not help but cry tears of joy. In that small group the Holy Spirit touched his heart, and he surrendered his life to Christ.
Mr. Monk said, "The Monday morning following the Super Bowl in which we were victorious, I woke up with an empty feeling in my gut. Is this all there is to life?" God's Spirit was working on him.
The temporary successes of this world are gone in the morning. They are isolated moments that burn off quickly like a "caffeine high." The moments of "success" in the Kingdom of God leave us with a powerful sense of never-ending, eternal, full-of-purpose contentment. We awake in the morning discovering an existence that is full of life, grace, and mercy. Why would we settle for anything less? "Christ holds the words of eternal life"!
