Internal Struggle with a Small bit of Hypocrisy
Hello all,
I have been working really hard this year to strengthen my non-Sunday faith life and have been pretty proud of myself(although I know it’s never enough). This is actually almost a funny little problem I’m having.
My wife and I are in a time of transition (finishing master’s degrees this summer and awaiting the results of job search etc.) so we will actually technically be homeless lol at the end of the month (but we both have awesome parents who are actually thrilled to get to spend a bit of time with us).
Today was our last Sunday at the church we have been going to during our 2-year masters degrees (due to traveling the next two weekends). There is weekly bible study on Monday nights with a fellowship dinner/heavy apps afterwards. Tomorrow would be our last Monday night bible study as well. This church is a full hour away one way from where we live which normally doesn’t really bother us. (This is the closest church to us atm)
My internal struggle comes down to this. I am a HUGE soccer fan and the USA has like their biggest game ever tomorrow night and I had without thinking agreed to plans with my college friends to go to Walk-Ons to watch the game.
Bible study is at 6 with fellowship from until whenever
The game is at 7
I am strongly against all the modern prevalence of sports taking precedence over church and lives in general so I believe I’ve made up my mind about going to bible study and just watching what is left of the game when I get back. And honestly typing all this out has pretty much sealed that decision but I still want to hear what yall have to add. My main concern is I made official plans with my friends and I don’t want to be that guy.
tl;dr: I have bible study tomorrow night but want to watch the USA game, I made plans with friends to watch the game but forgot about bible study. I am outspoken against sports being a false idol. I’m mostly decided on bible but still want input. Thanks
