The Super Bowl is not just another NFL game. It has become an intensified concentration of vulgarity and ego, with enough athletics in the game and cleverness in the commercials to trick me into watching. It’s simply not what I’m living for.That was my last Super Bowl.
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.Thanks for your example Ray.

Kevin DeYoung had an interesting look on sports. He's a big sports fan and points out that the same attacks on sports can be basically made against any human endeavor. I think he has a balanced look at sports.

God is in the business of redeeming culture and there are Christians out there redeeming culture in whatever corner of the culture they live in; Tebow is a good recent example.
Also consider, Shai Linne, he takes rap which is normally filled with vulgar language, profanity, and sensuality, and turns it into something full of truth about Christ. Did you hear the 9 Marks interview about this. They talked about this very thing.

Hey Rob,
Thanks for the links. I love Shai Linne. I've been listening to him for awhile. His album "The Atonement" is probably my favorite rap/hip-hop album. I hadn't seen this interview. Thanks for pointing me to it. I like Voice too!
