Football: Devil’s Game or a Platform for the Gospel?
Many preachers warn that football is a godless game leading fans to hell. They say anyone involved must repent or face eternal punishment. This reminds me of pastors in the 80s who branded television as evil, only to later admit their mistake and use TV to spread the Gospel. It shows how important it is to ground our teachings in Scripture rather than emotion. Football, like money or media, is a neutral tool. It can serve dark agendas or point people to Christ. We’ve seen players refuse to promote causes that clash with their faith and others use the pitch to share God’s love. I almost quit being an Arsenal fan until God showed me the souls in football. I even wore a custom “JESUS 1” jersey to spark conversations. For me, Jesus is always number one, even in sport.
