In last weekend’s football game featuring the U.S. Air Force Academy’s team and the University of New Mexico’s team, 57 of the 60 Academy football team members knelt and prayed — ostentatiously, publicly — in the end zone prior to the game. They did not, as Christ’s disciple Matthew advises, put themselves in a closet; they prayed in front of the world.
Therein rests the problem.
Utterly pathetic! I would love to know how many players sincerely believed in what they were doing & how many just went along with it to conform & be accepted by their peers?
This of course, applies anywhere there is prayer!
