Just Keep Put The Ball In Play
I wasn’t a basketball or football guy. Back in High School, I played baseball. I grew up watching the Kansas City Royals. I played little league and the like.
One thing many coaches stated was just connect the bat to the ball. Just keep the ball in play.
OK, Cox..what does that have to do with preaching?
Yall ask me often, “How often do you have to hit a homerun in the pulpit?”
You know what…All you have to do is keep the ball in play.
I am not telling you have to hit a single…
Neither am I telling you that you have to get on base…
But what I am saying is simply keep the ball in play…
Connect the bat to the ball.
Make it so that it is possible for something great to happen…
Maybe nothing great will happen.
But it could…if you simply connect the bat to the ball. Great things can happen if you simply keep the ball in play…
“How do you do that?”
Glad you asked…
You keep the ball in play by interpreting the scripture with a mindset of understanding what the scripture has to say to those who have their back against the wall…
Talk to those who really need something…and then just connect the bat to the ball…
How do you do that?
You keep the ball in play by helping people to understand how the good news affects their daily lives…
How do you do that?
You keep the ball in play by every week making sure that you speak the truth…
You may not hit a homer…
You may not hit a single…
You may not even get on base…
But you know what…you will put the ball in play…
And when all else fails..remember the Bible says that the Word won’t come back void…
Just do what you supposed to do..and leave the rest to Almighty God.
