In the South, people REALLY worship at football stadiums more than they ever do at churches. The stadiums are their Meccas; they worship fervently in them or toward them on their day of worship. Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa is one of the Meccas in Alabama. Church on Sunday morning is something folks in the South endure, but football games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are something they enjoy and long for. They will yell like a Comanche Indian for their football team on Saturday, and then they will sit like a wooden Indian on the pew on Sunday morning, and you don't hear a peep out of them. You have to hand it to the heathen, they ardently, sacrificially, and diligently worship their gods.
But God forbid that I should GLORY, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should glory in JESUS, and be determined to know Him, and make Him known, and none but Him. When it comes to Salvation, we should glory in JESUS as our Crucified Creator, and in His finished cross-work; not in the wood of the cross, but in the results of His crucifixion, that is; the finished, full Atonement for human sin; we should rejoice in the peace, pardon, righteousness, life, salvation, and eternal glory, which comes through Christ Jesus' bloody death on Calvary's Cross. We should always be glorying in the Lord Jesus Christ as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. And where will ye leave your glory? Answer: Let the Lamb of God be magnified!
