5 It s rare to see kids playing sports in the neighborhood anymore. We re now organized and professionalized including uniforms, state-of-the-art facilities, endless trips to the field, competitive coaches, equally competitive parents, and the after-season tournaments designed to give parents bleacher bottom. In addition, you ve got to pay to play and when you ve paid that much, you ll be sure to play. It is also fun, and it can be instructive. I love to watch my kids play sports. In fact, they need to play some. But, it s not so easy as handing over seventy bucks and saying, Sign up Johnny and Susie this year. Making that decision means that you may be out four to five times each week during the season. Soon sports becomes all about calendarization and control of your life especially if you have more than one kid. Perhaps nothing outside of a change in your job has so much potential to turn the family schedule upside down. This man understands, you say. Now comes the part you won t like: Behold, I say unto you, you have made sports the household god. Too strong? OK, not all of you. But the deification of sports is happening to many. How does ball become Baal? Answer: When it controls you, and you give it devoted worship. It is around this god that you order your life and you can almost never say no to it. Like athlete s foot on the hygienically-challenged teenager, sports has taken over more and more of the life of believers. Almost overnight we have awakened to the sad fact that, in many communities, sports has even usurped the hours believers meet on the Lord s Day. All too often members are saying to church leaders, We ll be gone next Sunday because of the soccer tournament. In turn, leaders are supposed to acquiesce humbly. After all, we can t afford to appear legalistic; everyone knows that the greatest crime a church can commit is to demand something of someone. You ll hear, But the team needs all the players. We can t let the team down. It never occurs to them that the church Body is being deprived of a necessary body part, or that God is marginalized and disobeyed. We are not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, states God in Hebrews 10:25. Devotion is the operative word. When the team says, We need you, we sacrifice to do it. But when it crosses the time allotted to spiritual edification and worship, the Ruler of the universe is often sent to the bench. In the process, we teach our children that devotion to sports is more important than both devotion to God and loyalty to our spiritual family. Have you considered that you may be teaching your kids to worship sports? Here are some ways to put sports in the proper place: First, decide beforehand that there will be no contest between the church s essential activities designed for your family s spiritual growth and what the team plans for your lives. If you will talk this over ahead of time with your child and then the coach, there will be no confusion. Through the years I ve found that many coaches respect that decision. But, it must be a prior decision, not one made on a case-by-case basis. When sports conflicts with Sunday worship or youth camp or a special spiritual activity, the decision has already been made. Secondly, determine that your children cannot play every sport. There is a sanctity to the home life that must be protected. You need quiet evenings at home. You need meals together. Just let your children know that you are excited about sports, but there are limits. You then determine what those limits are. For us, we attempt to have only one sport per year for each child. Finally, think about some creative choices. One of my sons played basketball, but the season was interminably long. I was also traveling. So, I would be gone speaking over the weekend, then, when I was home, I was out two or more nights sitting on the sidelines watching my son practice. It was not really time together. This wasn t going to work. The solution came to me after prayer. I asked him if he would be willing to learn golf in the place of basketball. We could play together, along with his brother, and we could do it whenever we wanted. We could enjoy this for the rest of our lives. I ve paid some extra money, but I ve bought back some time with my sons and some good exercise for me also. It s a bargain. Page St. John

6 BIBLE BASICS 30: THE BOOK OF REVELATION Fr. Peter Heasley The period of history before and after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is marked by great religious and political turmoil on a global scale. By this time, the known world is encompassed first by the empire of Alexander the Great, then by the Romans. Few empires in history have permitted freedom of religion, and so under the Greeks and Romans, the faith of Israel stands up against the demands of the world and its false gods. Under two successive all-encompassing world orders, the price of worship becomes the blood of martyrdom. THE NEW TESTAMENT Synoptic Gospels Johannine Corpus Pauline Epistles JOHANNINE CORPUS The Gospel According to John 1 3 John The Book of Revelation Under such distress, the prophets and other authors engage in what we call apocalyptic literature. In the Old Testament, this means parts of the Book of Daniel and Isaiah especially, as well as the Minor Prophets like Zechariah. Apocalyptic literature employs strong imagery, intense symbolic actions, and patterns of numbers to show that what is happening in one place on earth has cosmic dimensions and heavenly importance. Apocalypse means revelation, and so we call the last book of the New Testament the Book of Revelation or the Apocalypse of John. John here may be the apostle himself, exiled on Patmos, or another the Church Fathers and modern scholars are each divided on this issue. In any case, the book has a number of similarities with John s gospel and letters. Whereas John s gospel portrays the divinity of Christ the Lamb through seven earthly signs, Revelation shows the great victory of Christ the Lamb through several series of seven tribulations. The Book of Revelation is liturgical in character. That is, it opens with a great liturgical pronouncement on salvation by Christ, and with the command that it be read publically (like Paul s letters) (Rev 1:1-8). We see that the religious and political turmoil it describes is really a great act of worship to God by the victims. Despite the confidence of the martyrs, the book opens with a warning to the seven churches of Asia Minor to endure and remain in Christ (1:9 3:22). There are seven oracles in the form of a circular letter. In each oracle, there is a warning and a promise. For instance, John warns those in Pergamum to avoid a certain heresy with the promise of the reward of the hidden manna and a white stone inscribed with their name (Rev 2:12-18). After these seven oracles, John presents three sets of seven tribulations. Each set comes with an introductory vision of a liturgical nature. The first are seven seals; after an introductory vision (Rev 4:1 5:14), the seals are broken, bringing forth four horsemen and a terrible earthquake (6:1 8:2). The seventh seal brings silence, into which break forth seven trumpets. The trumpets bring various kinds of cosmic-scale punishments (8:3 11:19). Again, the seventh sign here marks the divine victory. Following upon the trumpets are seven cups or bowls, with its introductory vision (12:1 15:8) and signs (16:1 22:5), which conclude with a new heavens and a new earth, and the New Jerusalem. The book concludes with a great liturgical epilogue (Rev 22:6-21), possibly including an invitation to baptism (22:17). A book of this nature is not meant to cause fear, but rather confidence in the ultimate victory of Christ Jesus the Lamb. The victory is already his, and so whatever religious persecution his faithful must endure under the political regime becomes an act of worship to God now, giving the reward of eternal life to come.
