Cricket ball-tampering disease in all of us

By Spencer Gear - posted Friday, 13 April 2018

These examples are not exceptions. They are the norm and should be expected because all people have problems with deceitful hearts.

The solution

There is a permanent fix for the problem but the solution is very Christian. We need to follow the advice of the newly released persecuted prisoners, Paul and Silas, to the Philippian jailer: 'Believe in the Lord Jesus. Then you and everyone living in your house will be saved'.

Some NRL players are unashamed to display and promote the solution through Jesus Christ's salvation. Kevin Naiqama of NRL team, Wests Tigers, has tattoos of the Last Supper across his lower back and Jesus Christ's crucifixion on his upper back. The Bible verses John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 are on his chest.

What is his purpose in doing this? His words were, 'I want them to identify me with my faith and know that I am a follower of Jesus and not ashamed. It's my identity'.

There is a permanent solution to the 'cricket cheating' disease infecting all of us. It offers a worldview of a difference.
