Or CWFA: Troy Story

Christian wide receiver Troy Vermillion has been released from the roster of the Colorado Ice, an indoor football team based in the Greeley, Colorado area. The release came following a disagreement between Vermillion and the coaching staff over pornographic films shown on the team bus. Vermillion, wishing not to be exposed to the material, asked to be allowed to travel in other team vehicles, but was denied. Instead, he was released. Hilda Vermillion, Troy’s wife, shares his story; the story of a Christian husband and father paying a high price for his efforts to honor Christ. Matt Barber, CWA’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues spoke with Hilda, who shares Troy’s testimony and how you can support the family in prayer. Listen | Download

Thanks for putting this on your blog. I haven't heard about this particular story. Praise God that this man-of-God stood up for what was the godly thing to do. It can be an inspiration for us all. Again, thanks for putting this on your blog. I will definitely use this story when I am preaching to men.

May the Lord continue to strengthen your heart as you pursue ALL that He has called you to. Don't be distraught by temporary distractions, but keep your focus and affections steadfast upon the Lord. As I write this, I sense a fresh release of God's Spirit is going to come in your life soon. I keep hearing a whistling sound--does that mean anything to you? It is like a new sound that is coming forth. Listen intently to what the Spirit of God is saying to you Nathan in this hour. "Be still and know that I am the LORD" (Psalm 46:10) Make sure that you obey ALL that the Lord has instructed you to do in this hour.

Bless you brother. I hope this exhortation encourages you.
