The Ragin Cajun baseball team is playing with the Big Boys this week. Wednesday they played Number 1 LSU in Baton Rouge. This weekend Alabama comes to town for three games. Yes, Alabama, home of Nick Saban and national championships and all that. I don’t know how the locals got the Crimson Tide to come to Lafayette, but that it’s Mardi Gras weekend might have something to do with it. Needless to say the Tigue was sold out last night. That’s Star Power.
There is a certain amount of Star Power thinking in the church as well. We flock to hear the Billy Grahams and the Dr. David Jeremiahs of the Christian world. If we have a tough question we go to the pastor, usually the Senior Pastor, just a member of staff won’t do. We feel we have to take people to church to hear the gospel. We aren’t good enough to tell them.
Jesus didn’t plan a Star Power church. His Great Commission went out to everyone. Each of us can pray for someone and they can be healed. Jesus is the Star, not the ones he works through.
By the way, the Cajuns beat LSU on Tuesday and Alabama last night. Whose the star now?
