Risky Calls

I love the Indianapolis Colts. What would you expect from a boy born and bred in the Hoosier state? Last night's game with the Patriots will go down in history as one of the greatest regular season games of all time, but not because the Colts won but rather because of the call the Patriot's coach made to go for it on 4th & 2 from his own 28 yard line with a 6 point lead. When you talk about risk you don't get one any bigger than that in football. He rolled the dice and it cost his team the game.

Interestingly enough as the game was starting we were visiting with our friends from Kyrgyzstan. Anara has been a Christian for about 5 years but her husband who just came to the states 3 months ago, as of yet has not placed his faith in Christ. We have been sharing with him for the past 3 months and he seems genuinely interested in Christianity but just isn't quite ready to take the final step. Last night we felt it was time to encourage him to really consider if he believes everything we have been telling him or if it is just interesting history. Our biggest concern is the risk he is taking if he continues to wait. In football if you gamble and make a risky call it can cost you the game, in choosing Christ, taking the risk of waiting can cost you your very soul. Luke 12:20 says; "You fool this very night your life will be demanded of you..." Is it worth the risk?
