"...James Kok, a former college basketball
player who is executive pastor of the care
ministry at Robert Schuller's famed Crystal
Cathedral in Garden Grove , Calif. , says that
most player-proselytizers are earnest
believers whose religious lives involve "the
most simple expression of faith. They take
the Bible very literally. They think of God in
an almost physical way. He's their friend,
their force, their power."...
"...Come Super Bowl Sunday, says Kok, the
Lord will not be out there throwing or
deflecting passes. Nor opening holes in the
line. Nor kicking field goals. "The outcome is
dependent on human beings, not on God,"
Kok says. "He'll inspire players to do their
best, but the outcome is up to them. They
should ask for guidance, wisdom, courage.
Hopefully, He will be giving the players what
they need to deal with adversity. Ask God
to use your talent to the utmost. Be the
best person out there. And, no, don't pray
to win."...

"You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today."Deuteronomy 8:17-18,posted by vk *DefendRealMarriage("TraditionalMarriage")
