A team that honors God, and God honors you

After watching:
(1) There are several good points:
A. A team that honors God, and God also honors you. Play football for God's glory, win or lose.
Because in their previous understanding, the students on the team were just to be able to win, then go to college, play in the league, and then be coaches and have people talk about their championships. But the coach gave them another team's beliefs, from the Bible. This is where his wisdom resides.
B. The coach said to David, "Everyone said, let's work hard and leave the results to God." I think the director is here to connect David here with the young David in the Bible. Indeed, they all have one thing in common, that is, facing a giant.
B. Another thing about David is that he played football at the beginning, and he kept asking his father why I was so skinny (so he couldn't go to the football team), but his father kept encouraging him, How to face your fears. But his father was not a Christian, so he could only help him by his own example. But the coach is different. He uses what he has received from God to tell his children.
(2) I don’t know if in China if a teacher in our school preaches beliefs to his students, he will be exposed.
(3) I admire the old man who has been touching the student's wardrobe and praying for the students. God saw his prayer and showed mercy to the students, who later repented of each other.
(4) The wife of the male protagonist in the movie is so beautiful, not the kind of beauty in appearance, but the peace of God and the firmness in the face of adversity from her.

Facing the Giants quotes

  • Grant Taylor: I'm a bit nervous. It's the championship. It's kind of surreal for me.

    Mark Richt: Well, I can promise you. I don't care what level of ball you're coaching; it's surreal when you make it to the championship game. And Grant, I can just tell you: I'm so proud of you and what you've done. I've been reading about the team and where you've gone, and more than anything else I'm just proud of the fact that you finally learned to win the big one.

    Grant Taylor: Well, we haven't played them yet.

    Mark Richt: No, you won the big one when you accepted Christ. And now that you're teaching these guys and ministering to them, I think it's just fantastic.

    Grant Taylor: I got it. These players got it.

    Mark Richt: Well, I can promise you: win or lose this game, you guys are champions.

    Grant Taylor: I appreciate that.

    Mark Richt: But while you're here, you might as well win it, eh?

    Grant Taylor: I will try my best. You know, this team we're playing: they're huge, they're fast, they're strong. I just don't want my players to be afraid.

    Mark Richt: Well, in God's word He said 365 different times, "Do not fear." Now if He says it that many times, you know He's serious about it, don't ya?

  • Grant Taylor: We weren't supposed to have a winning season, but we do. We weren't supposed to advance to the playoffs, but we did. We're not supposed to be here, but we are.
