If Christianity were a Football Game

What would that look like?

Would you be a quarterback, wide receiver, running back, lineman defense-man, coach, cheer leader, in the stands, selling food, or in the parking lot playing?

The scripture says everyone should test themselves Gal.6 3-4 for if you think your something when your not you have been deceived.

We know what football is but what is a Christian? According to God’s word in Acts 11: 26 “the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch”. So one would have to be a disciple of Jesus first, learning and doing what he said, yes?

So it’s a good thing to examine one’s self. Where do you fit in this analogy? Are you in the game, watching from a distance in the stands, out in the concession stand making $$$, playing in the parking lot?

Does going to church, or going to a small group qualify us as disciples and where does that put us in this analogy of Football?

1Cor.11:  ²⁷Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. ²⁹For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. ³⁰That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. ³¹But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. ³²When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

The GOOD NEWS is God LOVES you and wants a relationship with you, a real personal one that allows you to be in the middle of what HE is doing today and not somewhere else in the stands etc. If you haven’t or aren’t experiencing that just ask and you’ll receive.
