Are You Playing for The Coach or the Crowd?  Michael Edwards

My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me. John 10:27

Can you imagine a professional athlete who plays for the crowd instead of the coach?
 
Can you imagine a Christian who plays for the crowd instead of the Coach? That is exactly what we are doing when we live in the fear of the man. We are walking in the flesh, giving the voice of man priority over God. This is without a doubt, the worship of man over God. The Bible calls the fear of man a trap and I can personally testify to this truth.
 
The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe. Pro 29:25 ESV

If we feel confused and are struggling, maybe we have been trying to play for the crowd instead of the Coach. All of those mixed voices resulting in confusion, rejection, double mindedness and chaos, trying to please everyone. It will never work. Somebody will always be disappointed. But all of this can change with one simple step. We need to set our face like flint, making a firm decision to obey the one clear voice of our Lord, the Coach, above any other voice. Both in His written word and in the voice of the Spirit. While we may not always be popular, and some may completely reject us, we will know we are doing the right thing, serving our Lord, the only One who will never forsake or reject us. His way is always the right way, if it seems easy or hard. His path is always the way, the truth and the life, the only way to His peace that surpasses all understanding. Hearing Him first and obeying His direction, is the only way to defeat the flesh and walk in the Spirit.
 
Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Rom 8:8 ESV

Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.” Jer 42:6 ESV

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

"For anyone on the fence, backsliding, or doubtful this book clarifies misunderstandings, perceived contradictions, and outright lies. I was led to read this book at a time when I thought I was over Jesus, but truth defeat lies every time and never forsakes the believer.”

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
