If it happened for Moss, maybe the same could happen to Sims.

Don't take Sims because he got drunk and smoked at parties? Like anyone on our football team hasn't sinned. Are we not supposed to be a school that seeks to change hearts for the Lord? I thought that was our goal? We don't need more Christians on this football team. If Sims parties, I would rather he come play at Liberty rather than if he went to Richmond or ODU. Instead of constantly thinking about what's best for Liberty, start thinking what's best for the kid. If he parties, what better school for him than Liberty? We're one of a handful of schools who discourage that behavior. If a player isn't a Christian, coming to Liberty MIGHT be the only chance he has to hear to gospel. Simply because a kid sinned at a previous school, is no reason to deny him a chance to change here.
As far as football goes, I hope that Woodrum starts the season. Sims would without a doubt be one of the best players to wear a Liberty uniform. But Woodrum has worked hard for that starting job and had a very respectable Freshman season last year. I think you send a very negative message to the team if you let some transfer take over, when your current starter is solid. If Woodrum gets injured, and then Sims comes in and plays well, maybe you can give him the snaps.

There's plenty of people who messed up in high school or at other colleges, and still receive not only the grace that comes through Christ, but a quality education as well.Very impressive response. You nailed it.

I just need some clarification here... Are we saying that because a person drinks alcohol, smokes or on occasion smokes or in some way breaks the "Liberty Way" that their a sinner?
roadkingjim wrote:No, I whole heartily believe that drinking alcohol, and/or smoking is NOT a sin. My post was in reference to someone bringing up Sims' past, a specific instance where he got drunk at a party. I'm at work now, so I don't really have a lot of time to re-read the post on here and quote who said what. But I believe someone was making the argument that we shouldn't give Sims an offer based on his past. I was arguing that it isn't wise to hold a student accountable for not following the Liberty way before they even attend the University.VAGolf wrote:I just need some clarification here...
