Loyola Chicago players celebrating their upset victory over Kansas State last night and advancement to the Final Four for the first time since 1963.
March just got Madder!
As I’ve said many times, when it comes to faith in God, you are either in or out, there is no such thing as faith in-between.
Another fear I’ve witnessed with Jesus followers is the fear to be bold in faith. Being bold in faith doesn’t mean we need to stand on street corners and hand out pamphlets on how to get saved, although I have nothing against those who do that. Being bold in faith means we turn everything we do over to God and give Him the glory for any and all success we experience in life.
When I figured this God thing out many years ago, I started leaning on Him all the time. Leaning on God doesn’t mean I expect my life to be perfect. God doesn’t always fix my circumstances, but He is always available to fix my heart and the way I view my circumstances…if I let Him.
I wrote a blog a few weeks ago about the 2018 Super Bowl Champions, Philadelphia Eagles, and their head coach and star players professing their faith in God to millions of TV viewers while being interviewed after their big win over the New England Patriots. I love it when people aren’t afraid to profess their faith publicly.
It just happened again.
Last night the head coach of Loyola University, Chicago, gave the glory to God while being interviewed after his team upset Kansas State to make it to the Final Four of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament. Loyola is this year’s NCAA basketball-‘cinderella’ team and have been fun to watch. They could win it all.

I love it when people are bold with their faith as the enemy has no defense when people lead with their faith.
Do you have faith in God?
If so, do you lead with your faith or does fear get in your way?
Hebrews 4:16, “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
