Skipping Church for the Ball Game
"When I became a man, I put away childish things," says the Apostle Paul. Some say that children are growing up too fast. We're saying that they aren't growing up fast enough. They may be learning perversions earlier in life, but they certainly are not learning maturity.
This leads to a discussion on games and sports. What part should sports play in the life of a young boy vs. a grown man? And what can we say about a family that will skip church for a soccer game? How do our choices in life communicate our priorities?
