This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday and I wonder where the true worship will take place, in churches or in front of the TV? Now there is nothing wrong with sports and even with sports on Sunday but when it becomes more important than anything else then it has become an idol. I am not saying turn off your TV and go to church but to make sure that you put things in their proper perspective. God will not share His glory with anyone or anything else even the Ravens or the Forty-niners.
Watch the game if you want to and enjoy it but remember that it is only our God who deserves the true glory.
It is not just the Superbowl that robs God of His glory. Any sport can do it just as easy, professional or othewise. Having a desire to see our children become the next sports hero can be a form of idolatry. Our prayer should always be that our children will first of all and above all love the Lord our God.
