At 2:55 in this video Matt Chandler says this. He’s talking about being careful about where his affections are. I’m the same way. I follow my team and enjoy watching sports, but I’ve had to work on making them less important because if I’m too into it, I let it become more important than God for that period of time.

I don’t have any rules, like I can only watch so many games or so many highlights or only read so many web sites (I don’t read about sports much anyway), I just pay attention to what’s going on in me.

The things he says about affections are very interesting. I’m going to try to pay more attention to what affects me positively and negatively and try to adjust things in my life accordingly.

Exodus 34:14
You must worship no other gods, for the LORD, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.
