The best food and wine are free. “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” (Isaiah 55:1) “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good.” (Psalm 34:8) Feed on faith like baseball.
Follow Jesus out to the ball field!
* Going to church is like showing up in the spectator stands at the ballpark.
* Opening your heart up to Jesus is like getting up to bat.
* Letting Jesus tell you what He wants you to do is like making it to first base.
* Beginning to faithfully do what Jesus tells you to do is like being on second base.
* Staying focused on hearing and obeying the Lord Jesus throughout each day and night is like making it to third base.
* Consistently overflowing with the presence of Jesus (“presencing” Him) and persistently manifesting the fruit of the Spirit — “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” — is to run the bases to home plate.
