The Florida Gators...

won the college football National Championship last night. As much I don't care for the Gator chomp, program or teams I thought Billy Donovan, Florida's basketball coach, said something very telling as part of a motivational speech he gave to the football team. Billy Donovan's credibility is at an all-time high after coaching the basketball gators to its own National Championship this past April. He said, " The ingredients to winning don't change. It stays the same" He continued, "What changes are the people. People change. The focus changes. People's commitments change. Their accountabilities change. But the ingredients to win are the same ingredients now as they were 50 years ago."

The stability of those ingredients for winning, I believe, are similar to the winning strategy in evangelism. Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13.8. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13.8 Why would I adopt any non-100% success rate strategy?

God is unchanging. God is Love. Love is unchanging. Love is unchanging and unfailing. I wish I would remember these important facts at all times. Like the coach says - only the people change. Our Coach is always there for us, ready to turn us into winners.
