This post will only see the light of the public eye if the "right team" wins. I will be the first to admit there is a proper amount of joy and excitement when teams we support win or do well. But the ache in my heart is this: why don't we have a similar (or even greater joy) for the gospel? Where are the ecstatic cheers when we hear that Christ secured not just a temporal victory, but an eternal one? Where is our overflowing joy when we learn of one sinner who repents? My deep fear is not that we love football too much. Rather it is that we love Christ too little. Father revive our hearts today and give us the love that we have lost.
To God Alone be the Glory.
