@newchristman: POLITICAL ELECTIONS ~ Are like Super Bowls (The Football Game Parable - Blue Team against Red Team)-! James Slobodzien James Slobodzien Author - Christian Living / Inspirational Books at Clinical Psychological Services, LLC November 1, 2026 “Every Kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand” (Matt. 12:25) The Kingdom of God is like a Super Bowl football game in which two (2) religious teams are viciously fighting against each other to win the championship prize (Heaven). Blue team members consist of evangelical Christians and conservative Catholics. Red team members consist of liberal Protestants, liberal Catholics, and some secular agnostics and atheists. Before the big game, both head coaches, representing the two political parties, huddle their separate teams together as one and pray similar prayers: “God, we thank You that we are not like the other team—extortioners, unjust, and adulterers” (Lk. 18:11). We pray that you would bless our team with victory in Heaven and curse the other team to hell (Gen. 12:3). The Blue Team then proudly shouted - “All praise to our head coach Paul who we follow.” The Red Team simultaneously proudly shouts - “All praise to our head coach James, who we follow” (1 Cor. 3:4-9). The game starts, and it is understood that the Blue Team’s football philosophy is to fundamentally follow their Playbook to the “Letter of the law,” believing in its infallibility. But some put their money and their country before this book. The Red Team interprets their Playbook by the “Spirit of the Law” (2 Cor. 3:6). However, they tend to overemphasize the importance of reason and experience over the authority of their Playbook by considering modern knowledge, science, and ethics. Consequently, the Blue Team focuses their football training on preparing the Mind and having the “Faith” to score by saving the soul first. Meanwhile, the Red Team focuses their training on doing “Good Works” to score. Critics of the Blue Team say that their strategy for winning is so Heavenly minded that it is no Earthly Good. Critics of the Red Team say that their strategy for winning is so Earthly-minded that it is no Heavenly Good. As the Championship game climaxes, both teams are tied at 7 to 7. Suddenly, a rushing wind hits them as a massive twister hurricane tragically strikes, and everyone on the football field and in the stadium is struck dead. Both teams, including the coaches and the fans, are now standing before the judgment throne of God. When they look up, they see the most beautiful light they have ever seen. They then fall to the ground and hear a voice saying their name, “Why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” They asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do” (Acts 9:4-6). Then they heard another voice from Heaven say: “Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to Heaven, and God has remembered her crimes” (Rev. 18:4-5). This dramatic turn of events is a powerful reminder of the consequences of our actions. It also reminds us of the importance of love and forgiveness in resolving and overcoming our divisions. Love and forgiveness are the keys to entering the Kingdom of God, and they bind us together as Christians. This can unite us as Christians in our journey toward the Kingdom of God, a journey we all share regardless of our past divisions.
