I wanted to share this reply I got from my "Superbowl Is My Religion!" post on InJesus. By the way, Jimmy (PTC), hope you don't mind but I included you little quip about fixing our eyes upon Jesus. I expounded on it a little. Good stuff! You must remember when reading this that there are these Christians making a huge uproar about the half-time show."Write CBS, write to MTV, write your congressman, etc..." His ending is so good!



Chanin,

I hope that you will repost this reply because I feel that this conversation needs to have a little more life to it before it dies on the Injesus website.

I enjoy sports and regarding the Superbowl, New Englanders have experienced very little Superbowl success over the many years. So hurray for Pats. However, it is sad to see that the Major Networks have perverted this entertainment and Christians need to see it for what it is.

It is not an attack on those who like football, even though if your addicted then remember what the bible says about Idolatry. We serve a God who wants us to put Him first not second.

For the many websites on Injesus who were crying out about this half time Porn show, shame on them! Are they still blind to the way satan works in this world? Is the church of today a part of the world or coming out of the world? For any Christian to take full part of a WORDLY thing like the Superbowl and not expect some fornication to happen within view then YOU the church are still blind.

Satan is the Prince of the Power of the Air. This game went all over the airwaves throughout the world. He used this hyped up, over priced, drunken stuper event to bring more lust into the hearts of believers and unbelievers. Why would any christian or church be surprised that Billy Graham was not selected to speak during halftime? They would run him out on a rail. So don't be surprised that the world chose Janet Jackson, the Harlot, to entertain the world with a lustful performance. CHURCH, this is what the world wants.

So please stop your pouting and scrambling for the hate e-mails going to CBS. They will fall on deaf ears. The damage is already done to the viewers. The money from the game has already been deposited in the bank. Another superbowl is past us, Tom Brady has already gone to Disney World! Just wait for next year's event, that's if you are foolish enough to wait with baited breath. I only hope Christians that you are bold enough to see that the bible has already predicted that this would happen during the end times. Put your bet on a sure thing, God is in Control and knows what He has to do next to wake up America. Come out of Her before it is to late for you.

God Bless, Bob

I know this post is a bit old and maybe done for some, but I thought it fitting to mention something.

I was at TSC all day Sunday and the messages were very timely for me as they always are when I go there. All three messages just fit together perfectly.

The thing I wanted to mention though is that Carter Conlon preached the morning message titled something like The Journey From Pray To Obedience. As soon as it is on the TSC website I challange everyone to listen to it. He talks about really standing for the Lord and not allowing the mixture and compromise of this world to overtake us. He mentions the superbowl and addresses some things discussed on this post. It is about standing for purity and Christ even if others and most don't agree and even if it means rejection.

Prepare to be pricked in your heart and also to be encouraged by what the Lord is wanting to do with His true body, those that want Him and Him alone.

Cling to Jesus!

Mike
