CJ on Art Monk: This post by CJ about Redskin legend, Art Monk is very inspiring. CJ is preaching on sports at the end of our "Don't Waste Your..." series. I'm looking forward to hearing him address the subject.

About Me
I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with an amazing wife and three wacky, fun kids. I'm a pastor at Covenant Life Church. I’m also a writer.
My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.
Check out the March edition of the Next Webzine. The month the topic is sanctification and features great collection of articles and excerpts by Donald Whitney, Mike Bullmore and CJ Mahaney among others. Read it.
Tim Challies asks whether he's ready to address his Google search history with God. "What would I say to him if he were to ask me about the things I have gone looking for online? Could I tell him with confidence that what I have sought is an indication of a heart that is aligned with his purposes? Or would I have to confess that my searches point to a heart that is drawn to what is evil and perverse?" Read the post.
I thought this TIME magazine article was interesting. Do you agree that McDonalds is on the upswing? Did you know they have a chef? Is reading this making you crave french fries?

I thought this article was very revealing as well. It seemed that CJ was giving credit to Art Monk's pastor.
"Monk's speech appears to be the fruit of good pastoring."
But what Art Monk said was, "So I've learned a long time ago never to put my faith or trust in man, for man will always fail you. Man will always disappoint you. But the Word of God says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And He will never fail you."
We all know how a pastor can change, just look at the new revisions of People of Destiny International.
What is the most revealing in CJ's comments is that he believes Art is what he is due to the work of a pastor. So . . . this makes me believe that he will then take credit for someone that regularly comes to his building that has a close relationship to God. Even if that person gives God all the glory, as Art Monk did, CJ will think it is because of the pastor. Humility? Not a chance.
Well said, MG!
