Peer pressure
has athletes, coaches and owners in every national sport taking a knee in support
of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. In my mind this comes very close to
bowing before a BLM altar and I’m reminded of the remnant of Israel, 7,000 in
all, who had not bowed the knee to Baal (Ro 11:4). People of faith should consider
carefully the ramifications of taking a knee to anyone or anything other than Jesus. Speaking of Christ, Paul said “Therefore
God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father” (Phil 2:9-11 NIV).
