Heaven is a Team Sport (Mt 21:43) by Dr. Pat Castle

“Therefore, I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.” ~ Mt 21:43 (full readings)
.
Pat’s Reflections: Heaven is a Team sport, and LIFE Runners are “a people that will produce its fruit.”  A cross country team fields seven runners but only five count towards the final score.  The two extra runners are there to help push the first five forward.  The extra runners are ready if any of the first five runners fall back or out of the race.  However, at the finish, all seven runners are recognized for the result, the fruit produced.  LIFE Runners A-Cross America Relay is almost half way complete.  We need all 3,244 LIFE Runner teammates to relay prayers, miles, and funds until we cross the Relay finish line on Mar 29th, All In Christ for Pro-Life!  Our life-saving teamwork produces fruit to feed a Culture of Life.  God first, Life always, Teammates forever.
