offense or defense

how awesome is this scripture... 2 Samuel 23:20 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, who performed great exploits. He struck down two of Moab's best men. He also chased a lion down into a pit on a snowy day and killed it.

what did it just say? he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it... wow talk about having courage or just being really stupid. Earl Creps was in our chapel today and he talked about this passage, it was amazing just like he is. he talked about your defining day, about how when it comes to life sometimes we all have a day where we can run away from the lion or chase it. it was inspiring.

he also talked about us as christians are playing defense against each other while were on offense. and we need to play offense all the time against the enemy. I am really encouraged with todays message, I need to have the courage to chase my lion and kill it. just a thought
