Yes! You are in. Do you have faith? Did you have faith that the Covid vaccine would work? How about if your favorite sports team will win? Ok, not a sports person, how about the love of your life and will that person remain faithful to you? You do put faith into things and people. Now for your play of the day...here you go...
Faith, we all use it. Even an atheist puts faith into that there is nothing.
Some of you just aren't sure. For those that think you are sure, you are still riding on Faith.
Some of you heard my video game analogy, seems like a perfect time for it. You and your atheist friend are in a video game. In fact, you both know you are in a video game. The atheist says, we just go here. There was an explosion and now we are in a video game. The believer says, that doesn't make sense. I believe/putting in faith that there is a designer behind this video game. Somebody wrote the code. Built the scenes with artistry so striking and beautiful that even atheists admire it and want to spend time amongst the beauty. The hardened atheist replies, yeah but I can't see any code and I don't see any designer. The believer says well ok, good point, I don't see a designer, I'll give you that. However, science says there is a code. Math defines and solves a lot. On top of that, we learned that your body and mine and every living creature has a code. They call it DNA. 30 billion+ lines of code that define every aspect of you and me. It can even tell us who truly are our parents and where we have been and where are ancestors come from. So we do have a code. Atheist replies and says ok, we have a code but it magically appeared from an explosion. Which do you believe? Which side are you putting your faith into?
For the believer, okay you believe in God...a designer. Jewish, Muslims and Christians most believe in the Torah and the prophecies found there.. All put faith into a God/designer. Christians believe in/put faith into Jesus as the messiah promised in the Torah and beyond. People debate if Jesus existed. Yet hardly anybody debates if Julius Caesar existed. Yet there are a ton of historical documents on both of them. Our world calendar is based on Jesus. To put it quite simply, Jesus was either a iiar a lunatic or Lord. You get to choose. You will put your faith into one of those three. One can't be a great teacher and say one is God and isn't.
So if you are a believer in Jesus, kudos to you. You are 2,000+ years later. And you are living those words in the 'Play of the Day'. How are you at sharing your Faith? Odds are you have room for improvement. Me too!

Now go, continue in Faith and show your Heavenly Father your love. Love God with all your heart and soul. Next love others...especially the more challenging ones. Everything you are trying else you are trying to do hangs on those two...Check Matt 22: 26-40. I love you, thanks for listening and when worthy, thanks for sharing and encouraging someone else. If you are listening to this because of someone else, just know they love you...
