Sunday October 2, 2011 the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys entered into a furious competition of football for the National Football League. What appeared to be a lopsided win for the Dallas Cowboys as they headed into the locker room at half time with a 24-3 lead quickly became a one-sided display of skill and agility by the Detroit Lions overcoming a 24 point deficit in the final 2 quarters of competition. The Detroit Lions win 30-34. This game is one of the greatest comebacks in the Detroit Lions history and a great disappointment on behalf of the Dallas Cowboys.
Unfortunately, people of God, that’s right church people become involved, entangled, even ensnared by this type of competition. Oh, it’s ok for the NFL, NBA, MLB and any other professional league; as a matter of fact this form of competition is ok across the board in any sporting event on all levels. It’s qualified as healthy competition. However, this form of competition is detrimental to the body of Christ. Oh yes, it happens all the time! Next time you drive down the street in the hood, count the number of churches you find in a 3 block radius. Not too long ago a co-worker and I counted 9 churches in a 3 block radius here in west Dallas Texas
What does the Bible say about competition? You know I had to go there. I’m my research on this topic of competition. I found it to be interesting that the word competition is synonymous to Comparison, Envy, and Jealousy. Very interesting. So what are the dangers of competition? Competition not only disrupts your relationship with others but also your relationship with God. Remember Miriam and Aaron when they were competing for the attention that Moses was getting and it brought them under God’s Judgment. (Numbers12:1-2). This type of competition breeds envy. Remember Jesus rebuked John and the other disciples for reporting a man who was not a part of the inner circle or original 12 that was casting out Demons in the name of Jesus (Mark 9: 38-40). Jesus replied “anyone who is not against us is for us”
In Closing, Christianity is all about service, not personal or corporate advancement. Competition is fueled by pride, but the commitment to serve is fueled by humility. Be aware of the competition and the subtle maladaptive mentalities that creep into our sub conscious and eventually become conscious through our actions causing division in the Body of Christ. Remember, we are one body in Christ that’s made up of various gifts, talents and anointing. We are to lift each other up and not become competitors against each other. I’m left to wander what would happen if those 9 Pastors in Oak Cliff came together as one church in the neighborhood? Perhaps they would have more than 50 members combined working together like the original Acts 2 church.
The Promise from God:
We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has a different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others…………..Romans 12:5 NASB
Stay tuned. Next week we will be discussing Competitions evil twin; Comparison!

Happy Memorial Day!
Decoration Day the original Memorial Day!
Below you will find interesting facts about Memorial Day formally known as Decoration Day……Enjoy.
In Charleston, South Carolina in 1865, freedmen (freed enslaved Africans) celebrated at the Washington Race Course, today the location of Hampton Park. The site had been used as a temporary Confederate prison camp for captured Union soldiers in 1865, as well as a mass grave for Union soldiers who died there. Immediately after the cessation of hostilities, freedmen exhumed the bodies from the mass grave and reinterred them in individual graves. They built a fence around the graveyard with an entry arch and declared it a Union graveyard. On May 1, 1865, a crowd of up to ten thousand, mainly black residents, including 2800 children, proceeded to the location for events that included sermons, singing, and a picnic on the grounds, thereby creating the first Decoration Day-type celebration.[1]
The preferred name for the holiday gradually changed from "Decoration Day" to "Memorial Day", which was first used in 1882. It did not become more common until after World War II, and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967. On June 28, 1968, the Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill, which moved four holidays, including Memorial Day, from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend. The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. The law took effect at the federal level in 1971. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) advocate returning to the original date, although the significance of the date is tenuous. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address: Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day. After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply, all 50 states adopted Congress's change of date within a few years. Memorial Day endures as a holiday which most businesses observe because it marks the unofficial beginning of summer.
