Comment on God to Professional Athletes: Stop Pointing at Me by Sophia

I guess it’s become a culture of sports on it’s own. Just as tennis players do fists pumps in the air after a victory win, footballers decide to point to GOD; and whether it’s a sin or not, cannot be proven, so let’s just enjoy the game.

I suggest that the truly peeved people will someday wiki The Holy Observer and see what kind of information it brings up.

I must say that I was shocked to read this article. Like some others, I thought it was a joke, and now that it appears that it is not I am shocked that such events could be considered glorifying to God. If we start believing that we have to get as close to looking like the world as we can in order to reach the lost WE are lost. If you want to draw numbers go for it. If you want to save kids and see them become like Jesus, then live like Jesus, not like the world. If radical Christ-like living is not enough to save the lost then we have nothing to offer.

@Danielle M., How is it “unChristian and inhumane to expect people to give up their culture/language to reverse-assimilate to foreigners”? You have obviously never fully understood the story of Jesus, the son of God, who gave up His throne to fully cloth himself in humanity because He loves us. If that’s not reverse-assimilation in a complete sense, I don’t know what is. Being Christian has everything to do with putting others first and meeting others where they are, and if that means to reach and love another in their culture and language, let it be so.

I find the disappointment of the leadership of Mt. Olive Baptist church in their pastoral choice in Kim utterly ridiculous and completely racist. It’s laughable that they have pretty much lumped the whole Asian population together in thinking that just because someone has a “Asian face”, they will be able to do Karate, speak Chinese, and master the arts of Kabuki. Hello? Kabuki is not even Chinese–it’s Japanse, and how do they expect a someone with a “Kim” last name to speak Chinese? I highly doubt Pastor Kim “misrepresented” himself in the hiring process; as a matter of fact, it was probably more likely that the ignorance of the hiring committee to Asian cultures blinded their ultimate decision. Next time, they might want to be more forthcoming in making their intentions known to potential candidate and making a fool of themselves in the process.

I’m actually dissapointed to see such a deeply rooted racism that still exists.
1. I guess Lilly Rudd hasn’t seen many asians before to know the differences between the asian races? Last names go a long way in helping to distinguish (not that there should be a need to distinguish).
2. Kurt Eisen stated that they wanted to do a Karate program? And they are disappointed why? Because the new asian pastor doesn’t know kung fu? They assumed that kung fu flowed through his inner chi?

The best part is the little trail from the building to the sign. I heart that trail!

This place has gone too far into the world of globalism and people control to be a place of worship.. What kind of pastor would suject the congregation to such behiavior?
