Disillusionment

The LA Rams vs the New Orleans Saints football game where the Rams defensive back committed pass interference on the Saints receiver with 1:45 left in the game and the infraction was not flagged? It was very obvious; the referees looked to be favoring the Rams. For several years now I have thought the NFL was favoring certain teams they wanted to win. Seems more like show time, instead of just football. So I am officially disillusioned with NFL football.

A young man that grew up in our community went off to college and then became a pastor. He lived out of state and the church he started grew by leaps and bounds. Then one weekend he came back to his hometown to hold a revival for his hometown church. Lots of people from the community went to see him preach, because we had heard so much about what was happening in his newly started church.

On the very first night that he spoke, the very first thing out of his mouth was the following: “I am only a man. Eventually, I will do something or say something that will disappoint you. So don’t worship me. I am here tonight to tell you about the only perfect man to ever live on this earth and he was Jesus. He will never disappoint you. May all honor and glory and praise be his and his Father in heaven.”

Remember the golden calf that Moses’ brother Aaron made for the Israelites who had just escaped from Egypt and 600 years of slavery? That golden calf represents many things that can be worshiped in our world today. Money, power, fame, pastors and of course the game of football may all be worshiped just like that golden calf. It wouldn’t surprise me at all, to find out that the golden calf, has a brand on his backside that says NFL.

Exodus 32

P.S. The NFL has shut down the sound and won’t allow the video to play from our website. They know they have a problem.
