Super Bowl Purpose
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
I'll start off Super Bowl week with an article about Christians who have played in the big game. In this article on Christianity Today's website, Frank Reich and Kurt Warner talk about how they've used the Super Bowl as a tool to spread their beliefs.
"In victory or defeat, the Super Bowl is an opportunity to reflect on the bigger scope of things," Reich says. "That does not mean as an athlete I was not giving my all through the Super Bowl. I always wanted to have and sought to have the perspective that I was trying to win as much as the other guy was. But I also wanted to keep the perspective that it wasn't just about the game, that there were things more important than the game."
The principles that the players shared in the article can also be applied to our somewhat more ordinary lives. We don't need a Super Bowl or sporting event to demonstrate our Christianity. We can apply these principals to ordinary events in our everyday lives.
"Ultimately, contentment comes in knowing that all labor, whether on the football field or in business, when done for the glory of God has no greater purpose," Reich says.
