Sounds like the pastor is using the verses to justify his passion for hockey. Did this guy cancel his worship service Sunday?
I can see his point but it's a stretch. I don't think celebrating the creation is the same as celebrating the creator.

huge stretch. but i think he's speaking to the culture of today, which is that religion has been taken over by sports.
anyone else notice the "theological" themes of the past olympics? i believe...lol.

Yeah, sports have definitely taken the place of God. Just because Canada invented the game of hockey due to our God given climate, it doesn't mean we should worship it... and we definitely do. Hockey is our Golden Calf.
Here's a post I saw on a friend's wall:
Our Father, who art in GM Place, hockey be thy name. Thy will be done, GOLD to be WON on ICE as well as IN THE STANDS. Give us this day, our hockey sticks, and forgive us our penalties, as we forgive those who crosscheck against us. Lead us not into elimination, but deliver us to victory, in the name of the fans, CANADA, and the HOLY PUCK. AMEN!
