Scathing 2-minute video on ‘Sports gods, sports idolatry & idol worship’
If there is anything in our lives that we have more time for, passion for, or knowledge of than God (and His Word), then it is a false god (or idol). Jesus said that the ‘idolaters’ will be cast into the lake of fire. Everyone from time to time has idols in their lives, but we must repent, not repeat.
The Bible says that we are to redeem our time wisely. Did you know that within the time frame of one 2-hour ballgame, 13,000 humans die (not including suicides or abortion), and 28 Christians are martyred? Sure, the 28 born-again Christians are now with the Lord, but how many of those 13,000 did not yet hear the Gospel? Imagine how better this fallen world would be if every professing Christian transferred the time spent watching ball games into sharing the Gospel in the public realm. I thank God, He gave me a Holy hatred for this corrupt, greedy, woke, filthy lucre and waste of time.

For some even ‘Christian books’ can be their idols. At our downtown Redlands market night, I saw three churches represented with their own tables and booths set up. ALL of them were peddling Christian books, and not one of them were distributing Gospel tracts or the Bible. It was all self-promotion, promoting their own books.
Thanks for sharing this one, Chaplain Bill … It’s a very good “example” that “brings it home” ….
and your comment about the book sales …. that is a “hot topic” to me these days … i have the hardest time understanding “how” selling books, tapes, etc in the halls (or the “book store” of the “churches” is ANY different than the scene when Jesus turned over the tables in the temple … for He was in the “outer courts” of the temple …
Carol from Seattle via email said “It has been amazing to see the idol worship of the Seahawks up here in Seattle gathering momentum. I hear that Sunday, Super Bowl game day, the churches will be doing something different to “accommodate” (Webster defines this term as – to make fit; to adjust; to adapt) their members! “For such a time as this we are called”!!!!!
