This is an excellent written piece from the perspective of a Christian who has found the 'peace' that eludes those folk of the world.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 'I observed everything going on under the sun, and really, it is all meaningless--like chasing the wind.'

No matter who you are and no matter what you do... the need for peace and solace will elude ALL of us... if we don't chose Christ.

What is certain is Mike has gained the world... what is uncertain is that will he lose his soul?

Absolutely. It's not easy to be consumed with your Lord more than you are with doing his work.

[...] When I was a younger man there was a popular slogan surrounding Jordan, “I want to be like Mike.” Today, I DO NOT WANT to be like Mike. I was not saved to long for past glory or to try and fill the void of past accomplishments with fleeting possessions or power. I want to live a once in a lifetime life, but I want to do it with my eyes fixed on the greater glory stored up for me in heaven and imperishable in Christ.

The purpose of life is not basketball. It is through knowing and having a relationship with God and his Son Jesus Christ, where purpose will be found. MJ may have been one of the most valuable players on the court...know that YOU will ALWAYS be an MVP in the eyes of God.

If MJ likes to read what is written about him, then perhaps he will read this article and come to faith!
