Ron Brown Is Not Ashamed of The Gospel

Ron Brown, longtime assistant football coach at Nebraska, has used his platform to share the gospel for years. He's been a leading Christian voice not only in the sports world, but in all the world.

When a person takes a bold stand for Christ, it's inevitable he or she will face strong opposition. That has certainly been the case for Brown. And Brown's stance has been so bold that his opposition of one of the fiercest, the ACLU.

But unlike most people, Brown is not intimidated and is not backing down. In fact, he's calling out all Christian leaders to have more backbone in their faith and stance for Christ.

We're living in unprecedented times in the U.S. The current opposition of Jesus in this country was unthinkable 15-20 years ago. After reading stories in the Bible about persecution, we would talk about persecution in other countries as current day examples. Now we're citing examples from our own country - and our own city.

I hope this article will help all of us to re-think our public commitment to Christ. What are we willing to sacrifice for the cause of Christ?

Stoops Takes a Stand

I love the stance Bob Stoops is taking in holding his players accountable for their actions. Stoops suspended wide receiver Jaz Reynolds for his insensitive remarks on his Twitter account.

Our society needs to understand that you can't just say things off-the cuff and not be responsible for it. Hopefully this will be a great learning experience for this young man and he gains some maturity for the accountability Stoops' enforces.
