Sixteen US cities are hosting the FIFA World Cup right now, and I can see the frenzy of football fans rooting for their countries. This is understandable because when I was attending the University of Michigan, I was an ardent fan of the varsity football team (American football, not soccer). This kind of passion or zest stirred by an external event can be quite overwhelming or even get out of control. Now, I am all fired up and excited by Christ, which is on an entirely different level. First of all, it is caused by my personal encounter with the Lord already dwelling deep within my innermost being. At no time do I ever lose self-control. In fact, I experience more freedom and peace than ever!
