I have been caught up lately watching Setanta Sports, which highlights soccer (football) from Great Britain, Australian Football, Rugby, and Gaelic Football (a sport I had never heard of). One of my goals in life is to attend a World Cup Soccer Match when it is held in another country. These fans are some of the craziest in the world.
We have treated Sunday Morning Services like “Game Day” for the Christian Walk. It is where we focus the most time, energy, and financial resources. The outcome of this ecclesiology is once a week Christ followers. This was the attitudes of the pharisees who were mad at Jesus for healing on the wrong day.
“Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
Luke 13:14
Game Day for the Christian is the school yard, lunch table, conference room, and community center. Can I live out a life of worship in the midst of New World Coffee? Or even to my neighbor? It’s Monday, and it’s game day. Have a great week!
