If you haven’t been tuning in to the sports world for the last few months, you might not know that Lebron James is a free agent. This means that he is free to sign with any team in the NBA he wants. The NY Nicks, Nets, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, even the LA Clippers are possibilities. All of these cities and teams are pulling out all the stops to try to lure Lebron to their city. They are getting very creative in their approach to influence his decision. It will mean millions and millions of dollars in revenue for them. This clip shows what Cleveland is trying to do to keep the King there: http://www.break.com/index/we-are-lebron-video.html
One of our values here at NewPointe is EFFECTIVE ENVIRONMENTS. We can’t make people come to know Christ, grow in Christ, or act like Christ -- but we CAN create an environment that is conducive for the Holy Spirit to work, speak, and transform, and we can create environments that make people want to come back.
If people are willing to do whatever it takes to attract a superstar athlete then we, as God’s representatives, need to be creative and thought provoking, too, in attracting those who have yet to believe.
