A friend of mine - T. C. - who lives in Louisville stumbled upon C. J. Mahaney and John MacArthur playing basketball in the gym at Southern Seminary. A few of the seminarians joined up in a pickup game, and not surprisingly, C. J. Mahaney held his ground quite well as a b-ball player. What may surprise you, however, is that John MacArthur (playing in slacks and dress shoes) made 20 of 22 three pointers. He was on fire! More importantly, here are two men who disagree quite strongly on some issues (i.e. - one is a Charismatic, the other wrote "Charismatic Chaos"), yet they played as teammates. We should all desire this kind of camaraderie with other pastors and Christians who are different from us on some issues, but together for the Gospel.
(Now be honest. Who do you think is the best b-baller in our fellowship?)

I love playing ball, but I am slow, can't shoot real well, not a very good ball handler, so I am probably not the best.
B-ball every Tues. night at Pat Griffin's house.
I bet bald Jim could take us to school.
