There is only ONE KING

I'm sorry but this has really bothered my spirit for some time now....

Have we traveled down the road of idoltry in this country so far that we spend more time and more energy on our sports figures then our God.
Has our attachment to those that seem to be able to elevate themselves above the natural into the "seemingly" supernatural, that we've actually made these figures into "supernatural" men and women.
Have we allowed ourselves to become worshippers at altars of pig-skin, leather and twinded yarn?  To gods of men that seem to be able to defy human limits all in the name of competetion?

(Now before you furrow your brow at such STRONG language and accusations...THINK ABOUT IT!)

"king James"!  I'm sorry folks but whether you try and justify it by way of lineage, or elevation thru man's rank of authority....He is no king! 

As much as many may just say, "Its just a name!"  I say to you:  "Is Nazi, JUST a name?"  No!  With it comes many strong emotions; thoughts and images!  It is not just a name!  It's a delcaration, an identity of the belief system and lifestyle of a people.

Now likewise when I say, "Jesus"! It invokes power, virtue, joy, peace, hope and a limitless stream of other emotions!
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."  Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)

The words that we speak bring with them the power and authority of life and death!  Likewise, the names, or titles we put on things, places and people, will with it, DEMAND the power and authority that word brings!

Let us be carefeul with the words we speak, the titles we give and the names we put on each other!  For by way of simply speaking these things we place upon them (in our lives) the power of those titles and names!

There is ONLY ONE KING!  Remember Him!  He died for your sins!  He is our King!  Not some sports figure.
