This Sunday is a big day for Titans and Texans fans. Even though it is too early in the season to know who will win the division, it seems as if it has come down to either the Titans or the Texans. Most of you are Titans fans, as you know I am a Texans fan, therefore we are at a crossroads. I think both games we play this season will be bitter fights. Can we get along or will this divide us?
Next year is a big election, some of you are democrats, some of you are republicans, some of you are Tea or even Green Partiers, and some of you just don’t know what you are politically. It will be a heated election; will our political differences divide us? Some of you are doing well financially, other are not; will that disparity in income levels weaken our fellowship? There are so many worldly reasons for us to be divided, disconnected, and maybe even bitter; but who are we really, are we a worldly people controlled by a worldly rationale? Of course not, we have been transformed (Romans 12), and are no longer a people who think or act like the world because we are no longer of the world. We are born again, resurrected into a new life with Jesus in which we think, act, speak, and live within the Spirit of God. Jesus’ example of everyday living is the model by which we live; He is our heart, our DNA that nudges us to good works, righteousness, love, grace, and unity. We are never going to agree on who is the best NFL team (TEXANS), we are never going to agree on who should be president, and we are never all going to be in the same financial bracket. But we can all agree on the one thing, the main thing, the only thing that matters; we belong to Jesus. Jesus is our common bond, and together with Him we overcome all things that disrupt unity.
NOTE: The Texans will win this Sunday!!!!
