At a girls' basketball game recently, in the last seconds of the game, a girl threw a basketball the entire length of a basketball court and she made the basket. But it didn't count because she had one foot out of bounds, beyond the line. Talk about the three-point shot! She threw it further than a whole court. She should have gotten five points for that shot. They should have a whole new scoring system! But instead, it did not count because a referee noticed that one foot was outside the line. She was actually further than she had to be. It still didn't count. You can't throw it from the grandstands, you can't make baskets that way. Otherwise, there is no game.
Timeless wisdom for pastors with forward-thinking solutions.
