Grounded... not benched.
Stay strong Carson!!!!!!
Don’t give into these enemies of God.
John 15:18 - 27
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.”
Perhaps Carson Wentz has provided an extract from Saint Paul that will help all of us in examining the issue of Salvation by faith alone or faith plus works:
Ephesians 2:8-10 — “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
I have believed that we get our salvation as a gift from Jesus, but that we should demonstrate our faith by how we live our lives, aka, ‘our works.’
A pastor is going to start on Sunday for the Eagles.
Fantastic! But beware Carson, they ran Tim Tebow out of the league for his faith and that was AFTER he led the Broncos into the playoffs and got them a win.
There's a big difference between "religious" and "Christian". Mohammedans are religious. Wentz sounds like a Christian.
Good to hear this. I bet Wentz is probably friends with a great Christian witness and my favorite quarterback, Derek Carr.
