Yeah - that's a big no for me. I don't care what the "peace" might bring.

I was there. My first CWS. Dad took me. I remember being scared every time Magadan came up to bat.

Not sure if it was the first but it was the first ESPN telecast I can remember and was totally absorbed with it ever since. Like it or not, ESPN built the CWS what it is today. We had a decent run 2 years later and can remember where I was when Greg Elena hit the walk off for Miami against Bobby Thigpen.

So you all caused the explosion if college tuition by borrowing 2 to 3 times as much as you needed to survive on and ended college with huge student loans? School admins saw y'all as easy marks!

I didn't read it that way. He's just saying Jesus already did all of the work for your sins to be forgiven. Works are not required. Just belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

I read it, too.

I have posted this before but some of you need to repent and believe on Jesus and him alone for your eternal salvation. Throw away your religious works and the things you think make your right before God. Let me be clear...Works based religions of any label traps people in religious bondage. Rather than repent and believe God's word, they defend the doctrine of demons that blinds people from the light of God's glorious gospel which is Jesus Christ and him alone for our salvation. That would apply to Catholics or Protestants or Orthodox or whoever that add anything to God's plan to save mankind through faith in his Son.

If you are working your way to heaven, or believe your involvement in some particular denomination makes you right with God, then you need to repent today and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for everlasting life and the forgiveness of sins. He died for us all and he only wants you to believe he did that for you and trust him alone.

Acts 13:38 Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.

Sounds a bit judgmental.
