Miles McPherson motivates students
Miles McPherson, president of Miles Ahead Ministries and pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego, Calif., encouraged students to be careful of the deceptions of Satan.
As a former NFL player with the Los Angeles Rams and the San Diego Chargers, McPherson experienced his fair share of what the world had to offer him. After years of living an immoral lifestyle filled with drug use, McPherson realized he was empty inside and in 1984 decided to give his life to Christ.
In 1992, he began Miles Ahead Ministries to reach out to youth and in February 2000 the Rock Church held its first service.
Reading the account of the Fall of Man in Genesis 3, McPherson told students Satan is a mastermind in deception. Satan speaks to Eve in the Garden of Eden and deceives her into questioning God. McPherson said her first mistake was speaking with Satan.
“He had no good intentions. His name is destroyer; he wants to destroy you,” he said.
In Genesis 3:7-9 Adam and Eve try to hide themselves from God; McPherson said Satan makes people believe they can sin and hide it from God.
“Every time you sin, you think you will get away with it,” he said.
McPherson said sin is fun for a season but Satan will never tell of the pain that will be endured afterward.
He closed by saying God has a plan for every person’s life and as Christians it is their job to obey Him.
“God loves every single one of you beyond your wildest dreams, he doesn’t want you to hide from him, he doesn’t want you to run from him,” he said. “[God says] ‘I want you to let me restore you to a right place, I want to show you all I have planned for you because what I have planned for you goes beyond your wildest dreams of what you’ve ever asked for.’”
That is the same dude that preach during Sunday but he also preach a different message which is good. =)
