Their God is basketball

Escape Hither Come Quickly

Oh, brother, what a day that we're living in. The Bible said in this day that (in Second Timothy) "The Spirit speaks expressively in the latter days they'll depart from the faith, and will be heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God."
I come to the church the other night; it was altogether too snowy and bad to come here. But they had a basketball game, and they had to turn hundreds away. What is it? Their God is basketball. And what is your God then? A big blowed up piece of air. I'm glad that our God is the Lord Jesus Christ in His Person of His resurrection, a real living Creator Who made the heavens and earth. But they want to see that. The kind of spirit in them draws for that. The Spirit in a Christian draws him to Christ. "How can a man come to Me except My Father draws him."
