I don't want to rain on anyone's parade! I WANT to watch the Super Bowl too!! Although I haven't watch much football, especially recently.

Our church is doing a silly thing, at least I think it is. We are canceling our evening service and having a Souper Bowl. The men make soup and watch the Super Bowl together. Ladies are invited too.

I think that's breaking the Sabbath. I doubt that I will participate in the Souper Bowl, but I do want to watch the Super Bowl!

"I want to assist churches and to assist pastors in training pastors. But, after fourteen years of service in this capacity, I am absolutely certain that the finest theological seminary on earth is absolutely incompetent at replicating the actual life of a Gospel congregation. I want to train a generation of pastors who will train pastors, and I want to help them in that task." --- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President of THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
