Not In It to Win It ... Christians are called to play the game differently than everyone else in the world. We're called to be in the game to lose it all for the sake of everyone else. This is such a countercultural issue – unless you’re being paid to take a dive or to throw the game, no one wants to be a loser. And yet, that’s what real followers of Jesus Christ are called to be. Losers. (The thing is, that doesn’t sit very well with me either …)
