Jordan - 1 Timothy 1

I am hunkered down with a beer and an All-Star game on the day that George Steinbrenner died.  Steinbrenner was a guy, like him or not, who stretched the law of the game.  He related to players and agents and a baseball team the way nobody  in baseball did before him and paved the way for the huge empires that are the big-money clubs in baseball.  Throughout Steinbrenner's reign of the empire he pushed the limits of the league.  But the one thing that stands out in my mind is that he showed that to make big money, you had to spend big money.  In other words, go all in on your investment.

The same is true for faith.  You need to go all in.  Its hard to skirt around the edges and put your toe in the water now and then.  That little Jiminy Cricket in your head tells you when you are on the edge or off the reservation completely.  Paul (or whoever the author really is) writes in verse 19 "By rejecting conscience, certain persons have suffered shipwreck in faith."

Now I am not saying that George Steinbrenner should be your role model, although he did do pretty well for himself and gave a lot to charity, but he did have a good model for success.  Go all in.  (If you go first, I'll follow.)
