This title comes from a quote made by All-Pro Basketball star, Allen Iverson, in 2001. After being criticized by his coach for missing several practices, Iverson said to the reporters, "We're in here talking about practice!" Iverson goes on a several minute rant against his coach repeating the words, "It's only Practice!" 29 times. Apparently Mr. Iverson seeing himself as an elite all-pro player in the NBA questioned the need, or the importance, for practice. This same manner of thought is echoed many times over in our society and even in the church! As Jesus Christ concludes His discourse on the Sermon on the Mount he sums up all of his teaching with this thought from Matthew 7:24-25 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock."
Open your Bibles and hearts today as we emphasize what Jesus is teaching, "We're in here talking about practice."
