Last night Matt Mead, head coach of the Lady Eagles basketball team of Robert Morris University, came and shared with us during halftime of the Superbowl.

He had some great things to say. One comment really stood out to me though. He told the students to put themselves third.

In today's culture this isn't something that is easy. More often than not we are thinking of ourselves first. We want to be noticed, be the best, look the best, have lots of friends, fit in, win. Just think of the whole premise of the Superbowl-both teams were there to win! They weren't putting the other team first at any point during that game!

If we live in a culture that enforces being the best then how is anyone supposed to put themselves third?

In Matthew 22 Jesus tells us to love God, and love our neighbors. These are the greatest commandments.

Put God first, others second, and yourself third.

Are you third or first?
