What do to many Christian men and the Detroit Lions have in common? Sadly, much of the time we stink at the very thing we're supposed to be excelling at.
Week after week and year after year the Detroit Lions practice and it seems most of the time it's an exercise in futility. Nothing changes no matter how hard they train or how well their practice goes. They simply don't get any better.
I don't think that the guys that play for the Lions are dumb. I truly think that they know their plays and they know how to execute them. However when the time comes to put what they know into action, they always drop the ball.
Sadly many Christian men are the same way. We have our playbook, the Bible and I'm assuming for this post that we're reading / studying it. We go through it day after day and year after year and yet nothing changes. We keep struggling with the same sin, our families are still not as spiritually healthy as they should be and all of our relationships are no deeper than a conversation about the weather.
All this to ask the question: Do we really not know our plays or do we not know our opponent as well as we should? What do you think?
