Governments and religions are the two greatest financial enterprises that man has built on the face of the earth.
But the third part of a financial trinity must surely be sports.
Even in the United States, college sports and professional sports rake in more money than any church or religion worldwide.
It is the fans, however, that enable both the players and these three institutions to grow and prosper; for, if people stopped giving their money, these three would collapse and fall because money is the fuel that keeps their motors running.
Consequently, it is the money from the fans of politics, the fans of religions, and the fans of sports that keeps their motors running, thereby enabling this financial trinity to divert the attention of people from the knowledge of God.
"My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing that thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame." (Hosea 4: 6-7)
After all, do you know of any three topics in the conversations of people that are greater than politics, religions, and sports?
Jesus said,
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6: 21)
Common sense tells us that people talk about the things they love and cherish.
Common sense also tells us that people give their money to the things they love and cherish.
Obviously, millions and millions of people love and cherish the players and the institutions of governments, religions and sports, for these three receive more conversations and more money than any other players or institutions on the face of the earth.
Rejecting Christ is in the hearts of billions of people because of this financial trinity more than any other place, and the evidence is clear: where is Christ in the conversations of people today?
Here in the United States, we say "one nation, under God".
But are we that one nation under God?
If so, then where is the evidence in our conversations and in the giving of our money?
What, then, is God saying to us out of heaven about Christ?
"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him." (Matthew 17: 5)
When was the last time you heard someone say they wanted to hear about Christ from the world of governments, religions, and sports?
