| God Spot This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome! |

Tuesday, April 06, 2004 Praying...... for my footy team! (because they certainly need it, but not as much as Dave's team just now)Gary asked: You should pray for your football team. Carol is it ok to pray for football success? He should pray for other reasons: two codes of football in Australia have been rocked by scandals of sexual behaviour by yobos of players. Yet some are good people. Nathan Buckley wrote the other day in the paper that he learnt discipline and many skills through football. The Buckleys are wild Port Adelaide people! Is Carol the keeper of our morals here? I think she would do a good job. We could give her the nickname of our "Oracle" (am I being sacrilegeous??? - another one for the Oracle!) I have a feeling that you're right about Nathan Buckley being a reformed wild lad (his nickname was "fig jam" which doesn't bear thinking about here, amongst you genteel folk). But now as you say Gary, he's coming across as the moral fibre of the AFL. Sadly, Eddie Macguire in Sunday's Age was reported as suggesting "with people no longer turning to the church for 'moral guidance', the AFL and the clubs might step into the gap". What is the world coming to? And what a sad indictment on the church! Carol, if you're still with us and not offended by us all (hopefully!), I plan tomorrow to write something specifically for you, from our last BSF study of Habakkuk (before our 3-week Easter break, which we're all enjoying!). What is everybody doing for Easter? We're meeting with lots of good friends at Belgrave Heights convention (teaching from Deuteronomy and Romans - great!) # posted by geoff @ 5:10 pm 0 comments
