What isn't biblical in football? You mean there was a sport called football in the time of Jesus? If Jesus didn't attend a wedding some of us will say wedding is not biblical but marriage is since there was one in Eden.
We are over spiritualising issues. The youths are full of raw energy they want to use. You cannot tame it by making them obey dogmas that is why some lucky one get into military or sadly some militancy, prostitution, crime etc.
If it being laid on your heart to add the unit to your church gladly do. You may be helping certain youths to mould enviable destinies.
Best of luck.

Nice observation, but 'Overspiritualising issues?' Of course, it's allowed naw. Hey! We are talking about a church here. Are u blaming societal mishaps on d church because they don't have a sports unit? THAT sounds cruel.
If anybody is convinced about lauching a sports team in his/her church - good luck. But let's just be sure we are helping this person make a justifiable decision, cos it's between his conscience and God right now.

It's a very interesting thread, and I salute ur courage in bringing this topic to dis forum, and most of the comments are quite sound.
You said urself - 'But I feel skeptical about this innovation because it is unbiblical. Thus, it may be unacceptable to God.' if u don't feel comfortable about it, I suggest u ditch the idea. I am a football lover myself, however I believe that what belongs to Caesar shld be given to Caesar and to God to God. [Jesus didn't condemn tax in old Israel, i don't think He condemns football as well] but -
You only need to ask urself what is d purpose of d church as an establishment of God, and does forming a football society especially considering d peculiarity of this times fall in line with God's purpose for the church?
Football today is a god [if u know what I mean as compared to what it used to be] look at the betting, gambling, politics, money involved etc [it takes grace not to be carried away with the attendant fanatism] . Can u control it when it gets out of hand [because it definitely will]
The MFM football example is a sound argument, but for me i believe the things of God cannot be rationalized in all cases. Just because A does it doesn't mean it is right for B. See James 4v17. Please note that attending church one billion times a year doesn't make u Christian, so u can't measure attendance to church on the basis/attraction to football as a yardstick of for making heaven.
If u think it has no biblical foundation then just ditch it [don't rationalize what u find uncomfortable from people's opinion, it doesn't work that way] and let d church conduct the business it is called for. There zillion other ways to foster social interaction and development among Christian youths without sports.
If u feel inclined to have a football department or unit, u can start one in ur area. While in school, i once heard of a football game organized by my Fellowship on a Sunday morning as a mode for evangelism that ended with about 30 people coming out for conversation, it felt really felt good, because it was NESSESARY for purpose which it accomplished. The question no can answer is if at least one of them is still standing based on the convertion today. Sports is definitely a crowd mover, it will attract people to ur church, but will it attract them to God. This wouldn't be an example if a fight had ensued during the game on dat day.
I agree people may need bodily excersice, [which though profits a little- on earth] so some people may need sports, but you will agree with me that based on d evidence of the times we are, what the church needs today is not football but a Revival. Let's enjoy the EPL, LA liga, NPFL, even those skillful boys that tap monkey post around the corner, but let's play our roles in our part of members of this Glorious body of CHRIST. I'm not infallible and so my opinion may be wrong, nevertheless I'm convinced, until convinced/confused otherwise.
Wait first- How will u feel going through a torrid time in ur marriage, job, finance, education or even in a dilemma in ur career, and u mask ur face with a smile and ur new Xmas lace, carrying ur own-personal burden to God with ur Bible tucked under your right arm, and then ur Pastor mounts the pulpit and he is telling ur how Niger tornados beat Akwa United, or giving u the latest on the rugby world Cup. GOD bless you guys.

What does it matter, i can choose anyone, even the one b4 "1" or the one after after "5"...lol

He had better be careful with what he promises, the mobile/internet network providers will definitely frown at this.

people would rather a monkey make decisions than this man. LM is the brain behind all d 'stupidest' (pls permit me d use of the word) decisions made by any government. the PDP is fortunate not to have him represent them.

"intelligence report" by Nigerian police? I mchew in Chinese.

Our people should learn to read, read and read before making comments. How does placing a shirt on a person's shoulder, with a mob of people surrounding him and the presence of a soldier translate to striping a corper naked. Just because it is in the news doesn't necessarily mean its true, especially when there is no evidence to back up such publication.

This story may/may not be true, but the pictures doesn't suggest any truth in the news. well well.

God bless all you the good guys on this forum for the heads-up, i just keep asking myself why people who seem to have flesh and blood find pleasure in feeding on other people's misfortune, it is very cruel. May God have mercy on us (Nigerians).
