Yesterday's post started me thinking. A scary thing, I know!
I started thinking about Christian Clubs vs. Football games. I'm not really a sports fan - just asking me who is playing in the Super Bowl and when I start talking about the Souper Bowl of Caring and what a great event it is and how we should all help our local food pantries, you will get the picture. Bring your $ to church on Sunday and put it in the soup pot.
But I started thinking about high school foot ball games and how many people show up up to "support" the team and how the total number of people were far more than the team.
Just track with me for a minute: There are 11 players on a football team. And for those 11 players, a whole squad of Cheerleaders show up. And then there is the pep squad, the drill team and the marching band. At this point, we are up to about 250 people - at my rough estimate and we haven't even covered the supporting adults and teachers for all those students.
What about the concession stand people and all the food they prepare and have to buy?
What about the announcers and everyone in the booth? What about the community and the parents?
What if we supported our on campus Christian Clubs this way? Yesterday - I talked about 9 adults to support 60 students at a Christian club? What if the ratio was 10 adults and supporting students for every 1 student? What would that look like?
What if we saw the on campus Christian Club for what it is in the war between God and Satan?
What if we did everything we could to cheer those club leaders on? How would the clubs be different? How would our communities change?
