Using Every Situation To Advance God’s Kingdom
I love this time of year. The weather begins cooling down, the leaves begin to change color, and football season begins. I am not alone. According to the Gallup Organization, professional football has more fans than any other sport. Thats not just a useless fact, that is an opportunity.
Consider how social in nature football culture is. Most fans like to attend the game early for tailgating. There can hardly be a better place to share, build community, and share the gospel than over a hot dog, brat, or barbecue plate.
Many times when we think of evangelism, we picture a door to door salesman or someone doing cold-calling. No fun. No fun at all. But football affords a great atmosphere to build the kingdom while enjoying a great American sport.
So go get your game face on, but dont forget to take the gospel. By the time the game-clock runs out, you might have gained more than just a fellow fan, you may have a gained a new brother or sister in Christ.
