When Liberty Meets Love (21 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 9:1-23
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 9. I want to speak to you on this subject: ''When Liberty Meets Love.''
Now I have a good friend of mine. He and I played basketball together in high school. He was a lot taller than I was and a lot better than I was. And he got a scholarship. He played in junior college, and then he played for Texas Wesleyan. And he told me a story some years ago. I've never forgotten it.

They were saying, ''You know, that guy, he's not going to intimidate me. He's not going to tell me what to do. He's not going to order me around.'' And they're in the locker room getting ready, and these guys are talking kind of tough. And Mike said as soon as Bobby Knight walked out on the court, they were like, ''Yes, sir. No, sir. Whatever you say, sir.'' And he said they melted like a piece of ice against the sun, because there was just something about it. You can talk tough until you meet up with Bobby Knight. And my friend Mike said, ''Man, he would look at you and his stare would just cut you in half.'' You'd just be like, ''Please, don ...
