You can't have 2 masters.
I’ve always done 0730 Mass and then began super bowl party afterward.
In 2003, God was a Buccaneer fan!!
Excellent application, puh102.
One church in Dallas, where the big game will be held, canceled services so it could rent out its parking spaces for $82.50 a piece to tailgaters and game attenders.
Confirms my view of Texans in one sentence.
Hmm?
In Austin here.
I have church today and church tomorrow, and church on monday. :)
What is the size of this particular church ?
Does it have a website ?
Cancel all services or just evening services? The game isn't until 6:00 PM (Eastern time). My Sunday School starts at 9:00 sharp. Thus, no conflict between Church and Football.
I went to school in texas, got my fill. My friend from college was asked by his minister to listen to the dallas football game during his sermon in his office then walk to the back of the auditorium and flash the score of the game as he preached. The culture lacks authenticity.
I disagree. I’m not from Texas, but everyone here goes to Church on sundays. Where I am from the pews are empty. Texans, in general, are kind and generous folks.
Calling them shallow? Frankly, I don’t see it. Sorry.
Football IS America’s religion
“The culture lacks authenticity.”
So, tell us where you are from!
You cut off in mid-sentence. Had to rush to a superbowl party?
Audie Murphy was a Texan, and I’d pay the price of a Superbowl ticket to watch you say that to his face.
It is apparently Centerpoint Church in Arlington on Collins Street, but I cannot find a website for it. Perhaps it has moved.
You are a funny one Larry.
The rest of the paragraph reads:
I later found out they were headed to a major league baseball game. I didn’t say much. But I am sure the look on my face showed them how I felt.
Unfortunately you are right.
The Sabbath, and for Christians that is Sunday, is set aside for spiritual rest and renewal. Not just an hour on Sunday morning but the whole day.
I also like football and if I really want to watch a game played on Sunday I record it and watch it later.
Additionally I will note that much of what apparently takes place in the adverts and half time at the Stupid Bowel should not even be allowed in a Christian home.
If football is more important to you than Christ, then say so, otherwise render unto God the things of God.
AND THAT INCLUDES THE SABBATH, ALL OF IT!!!
Yes and I think you are right it has no website.
Doesn’t sound like a big outfit.
If their Church is any where near the Stadium it would be a night mare to get too for services, I am on east coast . Our Church has Souper Sunday , We stay after morning services and every one brings their favorite home made soup to share, and then watch the game together
