A carnal Christian...

I was told that I was a carnal Christian for liking football.  

I have been looked at with a raised eyebrow before for liking football or basketball.  It's mostly because guys find it odd/unbelievable that a girl could like it as much as I do.  I actually like pretty much any kind of sport, I will pick a side and root for it.  *racing horses and dogs is NOT sport*

I like watching humans push physical limits. I know I couldn't run as fast or jump as high so it fascinates me.  IT intrigues me. But it will never replace the Truth of what my Jesus did for me and you on Cross of Calvary.

However, I don't like the monetary aspect of sports.  I don't support players getting paid exorbitant amounts of cash. I dont like the ticket prices, the ridiculously priced gear or that athletes can get away with most things as long as they have money.  I dont like people making money off of others. I don't like that it encourages/opens up the world of prostitution,  drug use and violence to the athletes and their families. You should play for the love of the game.

Respect is earned.

My Jesus is the only one who has given His life for me and He did it because He loves me.  I know my worth and I live each day to try and honor Him.  No one else will replace my Jesus, my GOD,  my saviour!

I know the difference and I know what's on a pedestal in my life and what isn't. Therefore I resent being called a carnal Christian for enjoying a sporting event.

I guess this time I have to remind myself...

Love God and the rest will follow.
