The only one who can change the heart of man is the Lord. And that will make us want to make things fair for other people.
From Benjamin Watson
There shouldn't be any looting or anything like that. But we're seeing a lot of frustration, and nobody knows the answer. All of us are saying we need an answer, and what I'm saying is we need, all of us, a heart change so, as America, we can move forward.
There's no reason ever to steal because you're upset.
I would say that one of the hardest things for an athlete, and really anybody of any profession, is that we create our identity in what we do.
It's been a constant struggle with my athletic career to identify myself as a child of God and understand that His love is unconditional for us; it's not conditional like fans, or coaches, or even myself.
Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly for the Lord and not for man, because our true identity is in Him.
Sometimes, we feel like we don't want to offend people, but there are times that we need to express ourselves without fear that somebody is going to shut us down simply because we have differing opinions. That's how we grow.
The thing that happened in Ferguson touched many of us in a specific way.
What I do is play football. What I do doesn't change who I am and who God sees me as.
We are God's children. We are Christians first, and then what we do flows from that.
