Do You Love Me? Day 1 Session 3

...Now, let\u27s be honest, gang. There are a lot of you who are not considering missionary service because there\u27s sin in your life, not just in the past, but in the present. And there needs to be some repenting. I have yet to come to a group that is so spiritual that there aren\u27t all kinds of people in the audience who can name the thing that\u27s a barrier between them and the Lord. You can probably name what it is that is keeping you from God. And I really call upon you in the name of Jesus to repent of that today. To repent of that today. That\u27s the beginning

Repairing the Breach: Part 2B

...The 25th chapter of Matthew, where Jesus describes Judgment Day, and in the end makes the judgment in these terms, Whatever you do to the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do to Me. Now let me just say what that means. Somebody says, well, a particular religious leader was a wonderful person. He just didn\u27t have any time for race, for race relations. He-He just didn\u27t have any time for black people. I got news for you. You can\u27t accept Jesus Christ over here and reject black people over here. Why? Because the Jesus over here says, I\u27m not over here. I\u27m in your black brother. And when you reject your black brother, guess who you\u27re rejecting? And that cuts both ways. If you folks reject me, you\u27re rejecting Jesus, for Jesus chooses to present Himself to you through me, just as He presents Himself to me through you. You cannot reject a person of the opposite race without simultaneously rejecting Jesus

Repairing the Breach Part 1

Whenever we talk about integrated churches, we\u27ve got a problem on our hands, you know what it is? It\u27s always like this. There are white pastors and white churches that think they\u27ve done a big thing if they\u27ve passed a resolution that says we\u27ll accept black members. Whenever white churches accept black members, what it means to black pastors is we lose members to white churches. What we really need is an integration system in the churches where white people leave white churches and join black churches, and humbly serve under the leadership of black pastors. It\u27s a completely different thing

Repairing the Breach: Part 2A

...You say, wait a minute, I\u27m not a racist. Well, you were born of the sin nature. I certainly was. And the sin nature manifests itself in many different forms. One of these forms is racism. In my few minutes, I\u27d like to just make three observations about racism as I\u27ve observed it

Christianity as Public Religion::A Justification for using a Christian Sociological Approach for Studying the Social Scientific Aspects of Sport

The vast majority of social scientific studies of sport have been secular in nature and/or have tended to ignore the importance of studying the religious aspects of sport. In light of this, Shilling and Mellor (2014) have sought to encourage sociologists of sport not to divorce the ‘religious’ and the ‘sacred’ from their studies. In response to this call, the goal of the current essay is to explore how the conception of Christianity as ‘public religion’ can be utilised to help justify the use of a Christian sociological approach for studying the social scientific aspects of sport. After making a case for Christianity as public religion, we conclude that many of the sociological issues inherent in modern sport are an indirect result of its increasing secularisation and argue that this justifies the need for a Christian sociological approach. We encourage researchers to use the Bible, the tools of Christian theology and sociological concepts together, so to inform analyses of modern sport from a Christian perspective
