[John Leland 1789]

"But then, why should I even be in such a group?"

Oh, you really would learn quickly to appreciate them.

Did you ever stand up in a sports stadium and raise your hand in the air, or pull your fist at a 90, and holler out for your team?

If the same energy was present in worship of the Lord Jesus Christ instead of the "worship" of a sports team, you might see all kinds of unusual things.

INDEED.

THX THX.

MOST folks seem to think God doesn’t notice such vast differences in the energy folks devote to sports silliness vs

TO GOD ALMIGHTY.

No I didn’t as I’m not a sports fan. I guess I am too laid back and non emotional about certain things.

Brings to mind the old joke...

Q. How can you tell the difference between religion and sports?

A. In Church, you sing, "Stand up, stand up for Jesus."

But at the ballpark, you shout, "Sit down, for Christ's sake!"

Cheers!
