In looking at the above question, it is quite possible that a professing Christian may wonder if this is not a silly question to ask – because you, being a Catholic or Protestant, is more likely to believe and say: Of course, Jesus would be welcomed at our Church and that you and your Church would be ready and willing to believe and do all that He says. But despite you saying that, I would caution you to be a bit more careful in assuming you and your Church would be so ready to welcome Christ – especially when He begins to speak to your Church. But why say such a thing? Let me explain.
People can Profess to Believe on Christ but not Believe what He says
Millions profess to believe on Christ - believing their Church or religious organization is in fellowship with Jesus Christ and God is in their Church. But do you know that while people can profess to believe on Christ, they can still not believe what He says or command them to do? Let us look at an example of this -as revealed in the book of John.
John 8 declares that as Jesus spoke to the people of his day, it says, “… many believed on him” (verse 30). But as you continue to read further on in this same chapter of the Bible, you will find that those many who initially believed on Christ, suddenly turned on Him – by disagreeing with the things he was saying; they fell into such a deep state of disagreement with him that they came to a point of wanting to kill Him (John 8:37).
Having read this, is it not amazing how people can profess to believe on Christ but at the same time these Jews were not willing to believe what He was saying to them; they just had a dislike and a disagreement with what Christ was saying to them; and so, they shut their ears (their heart) from seeing the truth.
Millions Who Profess Christ today do not Believe all that Christ says
Your Church and Pastor would is likely to emphatically say we are not like those Jews who refuse to believe all that Christ said, but would believe his words and do all that He commands us to do. But are you sure?
Let’s imagine that Jesus Christ – being a young man between the age of 32 and 33 - were to come to your Church or to the Catholic Church (the Vatican) and in addressing your congregation, Jesus, for example, began to say these words: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill” (Matt. 5:17).
Now, let us think for a moment on this: Jesus is in your Sunday worshipping Church that believe you are under grace and therefore God no longer has any law we must obey because you are now free from the law; you believe God sent Jesus to free you from the law (the Ten Commandments). So, what Jesus just said here to your Church is something that you no longer believe or accept as true; Jesus has now said something you are in disagreement with – because you do not believe that you must continue to keep the Ten Commandments – which include the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath holy.
So, here now is a problem: You believe God no longer has any law you must obey and now here comes Jesus -the one you profess to believe in - saying that which is the very opposite of what you and your Church believe. In other words, you have a vitally important disagreement with Jesus Christ, because your belief is different than what Christ is telling you; and at such a moment, your Church is not now happy with what this young man – the Son of God, is telling you and your Church; you do not like what He is saying because your belief that the law has been done away is in conflict with Christ who told you to not even think that way.
Jesus is The Word of God
Now you may say, that if you really knew in your heart the person speaking to your Church was the actual Jesus who walked the earth almost 2000 years ago, you would believe Him and do what He says - rather than to believe in the in imaginary scenario of Jesus coming to your Church – as spoken of here. But have you considered that the words of the real Jesus are in the Bible, or that the Bible is actually the word of God in print?
In John 1:1, Jesus (before He became flesh) existed with God as the very Word of God; it says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
The “Word” of God comes from a Greek word which means “spokesman” – meaning that the Word or the one who became Jesus was the one who spoke for God, and the things God the Father told Him do speak are written in the Bible – making the Bible, the very word of God – given to us in print. Jesus himself said the Father told him what to say (John 12:49); and so, the very words of the living Christ are there for us to heed and obey; we do not have to have the literal person of Christ coming to speak to us -as God speaks to us from the pages of the Bible; and so, the point is that Jesus is speaking – telling people we must keep the Ten Commandments; that we are to keep the Sabbath holy and not to think He came to destroy the law. But as you can see, this professing Christian world continues to reject what Christ said; they refuse to listen but would rather follow the traditions of men who teaches Christ came to do away with the law rather than believe what the living Christ who continues to say from the bible: “Think not that I came to destroy the law ….”. Millions of Church goers disagree with Christ by continuing this false belief and practice of believing Jesus came to do away with the law of God. I ask again, are you sure Jesus would be welcomed in your Church? If you do not now believe what He tells you now from the Bible – especially in relation to the keeping of the Ten Commandments, don’t be so sure Jesus would be welcomed in your Church.
Watch Germany
(I would like to add an unrelated comment here – by saying that I have been writing articles here on Article Biz telling people that Bible prophecy has forewarned that a union or federation of ten nations are to rise up out of the current European union - led by Germany - which is going to become a military powerhouse – leading to World War III – resulting in a third of the American people dying of nuclear bombs - which are going to be dropped on our cities.
Germany was involved in World War I and World War II and they are certainly now rising up to lead Ten European nations to turn and rend our nation in the final World War III; And in light of the fact that we are headed in the direction of the coming fulfillment of this major end time prophecy, I would like to point out some of the News related to this rise of Germany to become a military powerhouse.
Notice this headline from News week – dated May 2025:
“German Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged to turn the Bundeswehr into the strongest conventional army in Europe by giving it all the financial resources it needs to become so. Merz also said he would introduce a new volunteer military service.”
The Newsweek Report goes on to say:
"This is more than appropriate for the most populous and economically strongest country in Europe," Merz said of his plans for the Bundeswehr, POLITICO reported. "Our friends and partners also expect this from us, and what's more, they are actually demanding it."
Notice another report form Reuters:
Berlin (Reuters) – Germany is preparing a wave of multi-billion -euro procurement orders, including 30 Eurofighter jest, up to 3,000 armored vehicles, and as many as 3,500 Patria infantry fighting vehicles …”
The report states it is part of the Chancellor of Germanys push to build Europe’s most powerful conventional army, “aiming to reduce reliance on an unpredictable ally, the United States, and take greater responsibility for European security.”
President Trump has all along - expressed his desire for Europe to become militarily independent of the United States and recently entered into a massive trade deal with Europe in July 2025; and included in that deal, the European union agreed to purchase significant amounts of U.S. military equipment.” Knowing what Bible prophecy says about the great harm a United Europe is going to bring to the United States, one has to realize that the United States selling its military equipment to Europe is likened to creating a Frankenstein monster that turns on its creator.
To people’s mind this may sound unbelievable - too fantastic to accept that our nation is going to be destroyed in warfare by European powers, but almighty God – your creator says it is going to HAPPEN; it is surely going to come to pass. The people of Noah’s day would not believe a worldwide flood was coming but it did; the great Babylonian kingdom never thought it would fall but it did, and so did the mighty Roman empire, but it too fell.
People are going to caught off guard and be caught in trap when all these things suddenly come upon our people; Jesus said, “For as a snare shall it come up on all them that dwell on the face of the earth” (Luke 21:35). It is only God’s true servants who believe and understand these dire prophecies and are watching world events that are going to be counted worthy to escape these things- while the rest of the world will be snared and taken. I tell you we are living in very dangerous times, and though it may not seem that way to you, we are a nation in trouble; troubles are coming our way in an intensified form and no President is going to be able to save us. Jesus told us to watch the things going on; we all have a responsibility to watch for these prophecies of God to come to pass, but unfortunately, not everyone truly believe what God says; and for those failing to believe God, they are going to be caught off guard when these things suddenly come upon the world).
If anyone is interested knowing where the United States is spoken of in prophecy - please go here https://www.amazon.com/America-Prophecy-Israel-people-consider-ebook/dp/B0C4M8R77J
I am an old man who has, long ago, came to the realization that this professing Christian world – with all its Mega Churches and various denominations do not proclaim the true teaching of the Bible - as they fail to correctly teach many vitally important doctrinal truths of the Bible.

The journey from being a good hammer thrower to a great one often hinges on subtle coaching nuances and slight shifts in hammer throw workouts that may not always be immediately visible.
While an athlete might have the physical prowess and a fundamental understanding of the sport, it is often the less obvious elements introduced by a knowledgeable coach that can unlock the athlete's full potential. These small coaching details contribute to refining skills and enhancing performance in ways that can be transformative.
The impact of tailored feedback during training sessions cannot be understated; it allows athletes to discover and fine-tune their unique throwing styles. Coaches help cultivate an environment where athletes can develop confidence in their abilities and learn to tackle the mental aspects of competition, which can significantly differentiate a good performance from a great one.
The relationship between coach and athlete plays a pivotal role in nurturing the right mindset. A great coach knows how to inspire their athlete, fostering resilience and a sense of purpose that can elevate competition outcomes. As athletes learn to embrace challenges and visualize success, they often find themselves approaching competitions with a new level of composure and determination.
The evolution from good to great in hammer throwing illustrates how small but intentional guidance from a coach can shift an athlete's trajectory. These understated yet critical contributions create a ripple effect, influencing not just technique but the overall approach to both training and competition, leading to extraordinary results.
With this in mind, we have pulled two vital hammer throw tips from two proven track and field coaches that could end up becoming key in your quest to unlock the potential that your hammer throwers are destined for.
Paddy McGrath - Swings
Patrick McGrath is a 1995 graduate of Manhattan College and a former track and field Olympian and current assistant coach at Manhattan College and founder of The New York Hammer Squad. He oversaw the trio of Nina Bjorkman, Lasma Padedze and Alexandra Preckajlo that accounted for two golds, three silvers, one bronze and 54 total points at the 2021 MAAC Outdoor Women's Track & Field Championship.
Following the season, he helped Rudy Winkler to the USA Championship in the hammer throw and a seventh place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
With experience at the international, collegiate and high school levels, McGrath has mentored NCAA, Senior National, Junior, and Youth champions. Ten of his athletes have won high school national titles, and four have claimed New York State championships. McGrath also coached Track and Field News' 2013 High School Boys Athlete of the Year. In 2019, three of his Manhattan throwers qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field East Regionals.
In his ‘Athlete Development: How Rudy Winkler Went From Beginner to American Record’ clinic, Coach McGrath details how a consistent dedication to the technical work is needed to be great, and that starts with the swing.
Coach McGrath noted how he likes to see the ball in front of the thrower as they prepare their swing. For a right-handed thrower, their weight should be on the left while they’re singing on the right side.
A term that he loves using with his athletes is “brush the hair” when discussing how close he wants the hammer swing to be to their head. Of course, they mustn’t get too close where they run a risk of whacking their head with the hammer.
Another training strategy that he likes athletes to use is starting the swing with three fingers, moving down to two fingers, and then ultimately finishing with only swinging while using their pinky finger. This is so the athlete learns to let the ball do its own and create and sustain its own momentum, which is crucial for conserving energy.
Nathan Ott - Catch
Nathan Ott begins his third season guiding Penn State’s throws group in 2024-25. During his coaching career, Ott has coached All-Americans in each and every one of the throws events. In his first two season with the Nittany Lions, Ott has mentored a pair of First Team All-Americans and has seen three school records toppled.
During the summer of 2023, Ott returned to the World Athletics Championships, this time with a contingent of four professional hammer throwers under his guidance. Brooke Andersen (U.S.A.), Nayoka Clunis (Jamaica), Beatrice Llano (Norway), and Stamatia Scarvelis (Greece) traveled to Budapest with Ott as their coach. Clunis became the first Jamaican hammer thrower ever to make the World Championship final in the event.
In his ‘Hammer Training: Tales of Connection and Engine Work’ clinic, Coach Ott discusses how his “catch” term is a core part of solidifying a hammer throw’s technique.
Coach Ott explains that the catch is the point where an athlete reestablishes double support in their throw.
He goes on to note that good catches have weight firmly on the left side (if the athlete is a right-handed thrower). The thrower can’t be collapsing on the right side or aggressively dropping, instead being stable once the right foot touches.
Because of this good connection, the athlete will immediately become capable of working on an effective implementation which will lead to a good throw.
A poor catch is when the weight collapses into the right leg, where the athlete isn’t immediately able to explode out of that position. The ball should always be back and the athlete should keep connected with it.

Recent finding and reports from chiropractic doctors specializing in tennis medicine has revealed the damaging effects of using neutral and closed stances versus open stance. The results being discovered in these reports have been astounding!
Here is one doctor's opinion on the subject in an interview with Oscar Wegner, Founder of Modern Tennis Methodology:
"From a chiropractic perspective, the neutral stance is an inferior way of hitting groundstrokes.
For a right-handed player, when he braces to hit a forehand by placing his right leg behind his left leg while shifting his body weight from his back leg to his front bent knee, the fatigue of repetition or an extreme stretch is likely to subluxate (slip slightly out of joint) the right sacro-iliac joint causing a series of normal but painful bio-mechanical compensations.
In a typical situation, one can expect the right ilium to shift posterior, the right hamstring to tighten, the fifth lumbar vertebrae to rotate, and the paravertebral and gluteal muscles on the right side to spasm.
In due time, the player may expect a right hamstring pull, lower back pain, and possible involvement of the lumbo-sacral plexus on the left side of the pelvis with radiating nerve pain into the left leg.
Additionally, the continual transference of weight to a bent front knee, especially when placing the knee into a deep bend or when the front foot is not directly in line with the force vectors generated by the forehand swing, is likely to cause knee pain and eventual knee injury.
Again, imagine doing this for about 100 times in the course of an hour, or 100 times in an hour of tennis. No wonder so few adults are still playing tennis. Tennis is a wonderful game and should provide a lifetime of fun when played with bio-mechanical correctness. My most serious advice is: listen to Oscar."

For athletes new to the sport, men’s lacrosse can be thought of as a blend of soccer, basketball, and hockey. It is a fast-paced stick-and-ball sport originating from a game played by Native American tribes for spiritual, ceremonial, and conflict-resolution purposes. It is known as the “fastest game on two feet.”
Men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse have very different rules and differ by some of the equipment used to play the game. For example, men’s lacrosse players wear helmets and shoulder pads, while women’s lacrosse players do not. This article will explain how men’s lacrosse is played, key positions, and the basic rules.
Basic Rules
The scoring mechanism of men’s lacrosse is similar to soccer, where the object of the game is to get the ball in your opponent’s net. Teams can advance the ball down the field by cradling (carrying the ball in the net of their stick), passing, catching, and dodging opponents.
Starting Play: Games begin with a face-off where the ball is placed between two opposing players at midfield who vie to gain control.
Ball Movement: Players can run with the ball by cradling it in their stick, passing to teammates, or shooting at the goal.
Scoring: A goal scores one point and occurs when the ball completely crosses the goal line within the frame of the goal.
Body Checking: Players can body check their opponent when the opponent has possession or is within five yards of a loose ball. Hits to the body must be legal which means no hits to the head, back, or below the waist.
Stick Checking: Hitting an opponents stick is allowed in order to dislodge the ball, but players are not allowed to recklessly hit their opponent with their stick or make contact to the helmet with their stick as that is a penalty.
Game Duration
A standard men’s lacrosse game consists of four quarters, each 12-15 minutes long (depending on the level of play), with a half-time break after the first two quarters for recovery and strategy adjustments.
Offside Rules
Player Limits: No more than six players (including the goalie) can be on their defensive half of the field, and no more than six offensive players are permitted beyond the midfield line. This rule is designed to prevent teams from overloading one side of the field and to maintain a balance of play.
Key Rules and Penalties
Personal Fouls: These include slashing, tripping, illegal body checking, and cross-checking. Such actions can lead to time penalties (1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.), where the offending player must sit out, and the team plays short-handed.
Technical Fouls: Lesser infractions, such as holding or offside, result in a change of possession or a 30-second penalty if the team fouled against has the ball.
Why These Rules?
The structure and rules of men’s lacrosse aim to maintain a fast-paced, strategic game that balances offensive opportunities and defensive challenges. The physicality allowed reflects the sport’s origins and emphasis on agility and coordination, while the protective measures like the crease around the goal ensure player safety, particularly for goalkeepers.
Men’s lacrosse is a dynamic and physically demanding sport that requires not only athletic ability but also strategic thinking and teamwork. It’s a game where speed, skill, and physicality come together beautifully, providing excitement and fun for both players and spectators.
Men’s Lacrosse FAQs
Field Setup and Equipment
A men’s lacrosse field is 110 yards long and 60 yards wide. Similar to soccer and basketball, the field is divided into two halves by a midfield line.
Each half contains a crease and goal; the crease is a circular area around the goal. The goals are 6 feet by 6 feet, positioned 15 yards from the end line.
A hard rubber ball, about 7.75 inches in circumference, is used to play the game and can be white or orange in color depending on the league.
Attackmen and midfielders use short sticks, 40-42 inches in length while defenders use long sticks that measure between 52-72 inches. Goalies use a special stick with a larger head to defend the goal and clear the ball when a save is made.
Players and Positions
Each team has ten players on the field:
Three Attackmen: Positioned on the offensive end of the field, their main role is to set up the offense and score goals.
Three Midfielders (Middies): Similar to soccer, they cover the entire field, aiding both in offense and defense. Midfielders are key in transition, contributing heavily at the face-off and in the riding and clearing game.
Three Defensemen: Positioned near their goal, tasked with stopping the opposing attackmen, supporting their defensive teammates and protecting the goalie.
One Goalie: Just like with soccer or hockey, they are the last line of defense, responsible for stopping the ball from going into the goal and directing the defense.
