LIVING ON THE EDGE
Hebrews 11:30-31
Hebrew chapter number 11, verse 29, 30, 31. Let's bow for prayer together.

They were more interested in getting their picture made with David Robinson and
Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler than it was playing against them. They had their
family out on the floor with little movie cameras saying, "Look, there you are guarding
that NBA All-Star!" It was the story of intimidation. I think if any of us would walk
through any of the Hall of Fame in the athletic world, whether it's the Track-and-Field
Hall of Fame in Indianapolis or baseball in Cooperstown, we'd see those tremendous
world-class athletes and the records they've established. And all of us wou ...
