The Mile High City is planning a ticker-tape parade, and I\u2019m sure we will be talking about our \u201cworld champions\u201d for days to come.<br \/>\nThe auspicious occasion took place on a Sunday, which gave a way for plenty of fans to show their true colors at faith gatherings across the country. My pastor even began his sermon by showcasing his orange tie! I can well remember a similar game several years back, when the church I attended got into the team spirit. The worship team wore their favorite player\u2019s jersey and covered their microphones with orange and blue foam windscreens.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-278 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/don-pape.jpg\" alt=\"Don Pape, Publisher\" width=\"261\" height=\"174\" \/><br \/>\nNow, hear me. I\u2019m not opposed to celebrating good times at church. I did think it interesting, however, how we had no qualms about wearing t-shirts and jerseys plastered with \u201c18\u201d or \u201c58\u201d or (insert your favorite number) and \u201cwoot woot\u201ding our way down the church aisle. Would we be willing to put on a similar parade in \u201cteam Jesus\u201d colors, whatever they may be?<br \/>\nYou see, a simple little thing like Super Bowl Sunday is a <em>human<\/em> tradition. But attending worship with fellow believers is and should be so much more.<br \/>\nAs we settle into post-football frenzy, I would love to think the energy, enthusiasm\u2014yes, the fanatic love\u2014that captured us all would translate into even more committed disciples of Jesus. Would we get as excited for one person\u2019s life being transformed as we do a feeble attempt at a touchdown?<br \/>\nOK, \u2018nuff said. Go Team Jesus!<br \/>\n\u201cSince you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God\u2019s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.\u201d \u2013 Colossians 3: 1-2 (NLT)<br \/>\n&#8211; Don Pape, NavPress Publisher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I write this, my state is enthused\u2014nay, energized\u2014by the performance of our very own Denver Broncos.
