Ingen liker name drop. Du vet hvem jeg snakker om. De mennesker som vil at du skal vite at de vet folk at du sannsynligvis vil vite. Når jeg tenker "namedropper,"Det er en fyr som umiddelbart kommer til hjernen. Jeg har bare møtt ham en håndfull ganger, men hver gang vi har snakket, halvparten av vår samtale er tatt opp med åpenbare navn dråper.
Han vet en god del av "big time" folk, og han har en absurd evne til å snike disse navnene i en samtale. Her er et eksempel. jeg sier, "Hei mann, hva er klokka?"Hans svar: "Åh, it’s about noon. Reminds me of that time I played putt putt with Michael Jackson at noon in Paris.” Word?
Ærlig talt, det er ikke bare navnet droppers som irk oss selv. Det er folk som skryter generelt. Vi får lei av å høre voksne menn skryter om sine high school fotball dager (Det er på tide å gå videre, Herr). We grow weary of our privileged friends that find some way to tweet about every exotic place they visit. Og vi har ikke mye tålmodighet for folk som detalj for oss hver dyrt element de kjøper (med mindre de er rappere, selvfølgelig). Enten det er fordekt skryter om hvem du kjenner, eller skamløst å peke ut alle dine prestasjoner, skryter bare er ikke kult.
Stopp bragging
For å si det enkelt, å skryte er å "snakke hoverende.» Og alle av oss har gjort seg skyldig i det på et tidspunkt. Det provoserer alltid et øye roll når andre gjør det - så hvorfor gjør vi fortsatt ta del i det selv?
Skryt skjer når du har noe (eller gjøre noe) så utrolig at du tror alle trenger å vite om det. Og ikke bare gjøre de trenger å vite om det, de må innse hvor fantastisk du er for å ha (eller gjør) den. Hvis vi er ærlige med oss selv, vi nevne slipp og ydmyke skryter til våre venner fordi vi tror det gjør oss se bra ut. Og det er akkurat derfor det er galt.
Problemet er ikke at det du skryter av er ikke stor. Det kan være. Problemet er at det endelige målet er ikke så stor. Alt du gjør for å få til personlig ære er synd.
Skriften taler ganske sterkt om denne typen brautende diskusjon. Ett eksempel er i 1 Kor 4:7, hvor Paulus spør, "Hva har du som du ikke har fått? Og hvis du har fått det, hvorfor skryter du som om du gjorde ikke?"Han er i utgangspunktet si, "Alt du har gitt til deg. Så hvorfor skulle du skryte når alt du gjorde var å ta imot en gave?"
Hver skrytende ord vi uttaler er et skudd rettet direkte mot vår Skaper. Alle gode ting kommer fra Ham, noe som betyr at ingen av oss kan ta æren for det. All ære i universet tilhører Gud, men vi hele tiden prøver å holde litt for oss selv. I den akademiske verden, tar æren for andres arbeid kalles plagiat. I den virkelige verden, det heter skryt.
Begynn bragging
Vel det avgjør saken da, ikke sant? Aldri, noen gang skryte!
Jeg tror ikke det er fullt så enkelt. Ikke bare tror jeg du bør skryte noen ganger, Jeg tror det er det du ble opprettet for å gjøre. La meg forklare.
Huske, roten av skryt tenker noe du har er så utrolig at alle trenger å vite om det. De av oss som har blitt forløst ved Jesus har noe å skryte av - Gud selv. Hvis vi vet Gud, Vi bør så blåst bort av ham som vi føler seg tvunget til å forkynne hans dyder til andre (1 Kjæledyr. 2:9). Han er for stor til å holde for oss selv. Jeremiah 9:23-24 oppsummerer det godt.
Dette er hva Herren sier:
«La ikke den vise mannen skryte av sin visdom
eller den sterke mann skryte av sin styrke
eller den rike mannen skryte av sin rikdom,
men la ham som kan skryte skryte om dette:
at han forstår og kjenner meg,
at jeg er Herren, som utøver godhet,
rett og rettferdighet på jorden,
for i disse glede jeg,"
declares the Lord.
Hvis du kjenner Gud, Jeg vil at du skal skryte. Men når du gjør, don’t let it be in din visdom, eller din strength, eller din riches. I stedet, skryter Hans. Skryt i det faktum at du kjenner en med perfekt visdom, allmektig kraft, og aldri slutter rikdommer nåde. I stedet for å bruke dine ord for å skaffe din egen berømmelse, bruke dem til å vise fram sin.
Universet er som en skjerm sak for Guds herlighet. Jorden ble opprettet for å vise sin makt. Trær ble dannet for å flaunt sin skjønnhet. Dyrene ble laget for å peke på hans storhet. Og du? Du ble bygget for å skryte på ham. Så hvis du gjør slippe et navn, la det være Hans.
This is really great trip, keep up the gear work!
this was beautifully written. makes so much sense. I love the length as well. great on the go. can’t wait to read more, Tur.
Takk tur. This is a really good point. Our personal achievements compared to God’s never ending grace are worthless. Let’s starting bragging about our Lord and Savior!
This was excellent Trip! The new site looks amazing!
Wow. Kraftig. Tweet, share, email!
HEY TRIP!!!
I have something HUGE to share with you!! Så, I follow these two 18 year old Christians on YouTube, Instagram&Twitter and A MONTH and TWO DAYS ago, they said that they were told by God to leave NC and go to Los Angeles. They arrived yesterday!!!! GREATEST PART?!! They left NC with SIXTEEN dollars, a back pack and their faith and started WALKING!!! Along the way, they were given bikes, then food, shelter, rides &finances to help on their journey. And they didn’t even ask for it!!!!! People would just come up to them and give. Like they could see the spirit of God all over them!! They recorded vids on the way on YouTube and posted photos on Instagram and they keep us up to date on their twitter as well. Their YouTube hasn’t been updated in a week but they still have MARVELOUS testimonies shared on there from throughout the journey and they update their twitter and Instagram almost DAILY. Just wanted to spread this with you so that you could spread this great news of Faith. Maybe you can even get in contact with them and TRY THEIR SPIRITS. These men of God are legit. AMAZING TESTIMONIES. Lets spread the good news!

Yes as God’s children we are built to brag about His awesome power, kjærlighet, mercy and especially His grace. The Lord says, If any man boasts let Him boasts in the Lord. The word Swag means also to boast or brag which is a prideful thing to do when you make it all about you. When it comes to swag, the world sets the standard, they tell people whats the trend or what is cool or not. Being a Christian is not the most popular thing to be in society these days, but it surely is the most vital. As a Christian its perfect for us to have swag, the best swag, and thats a Godly Swagg which simply means to boast in the Lord God. In our walk, our talk, and through our music we boast and brag on the Lord Jesus Christ because through the cross we have become products of His Grace and it is our life’s mission to win more souls through the preaching of the Gospel of grace.
Thanks for the rebuke brother-I’m guilty of bragging. Will do better tomorrow.
Absolutely agree with you! I never thought of being “bygget for å skryte” but you definitely convinced me. I very much enjoy reading your writing. Incredibly thought provoking but balanced with encouragement. Perfect mixture of the two!! Thanks for writing.
Amen. This was on point Tripp. Thank you for being a blessing. #SpiritLed #BragOnMyLord
Can I brag on my LORD?
“Vi får lei av å høre voksne menn skryter om sine high school fotball dager (Det er på tide å gå videre, Herr).” #Preeeach!
I stumbled upon this article and boy, do I feel encouraged. So much to ponder from these words. It’s both an encouragement and a need to examine oneself and motive. Glory be to God for giving you the gift to write this!!!
Great Job Trip! Love the audio piece. Never seen that before! It reminds me of the time I hung out with… Just kidding! Great Exhortation.
Awesome post, Tur! Ser ut i det siste at alt det gjør er å gjøre sint sint. Very encouraged now. Thank you for obeying and letting God speak through you!
INCREDIBLE share Mr. Tur!!! So powerful and stirring!
So great to see Trip still speaking the truth even if it’s a medium different than music. That was a great read, I look forward to hearing more of it. Gud velsigne deg, Tur.
Takk tur
I got some things to change.
Love the simplicity of the sermon – beautiful
Can you please narrate everything from now on?
Great thought provoking read Mr. Tur. Many can take this to heart, and now into practice. Keep using the gifts God has given you, which now includes being a pretty great writer, and continue to share the message with those gifts… it is reaching more than you’ll ever know. Gud velsigne, #JesusIsKing
WORD! #TeamTripLee
Great article. This provided some deep insight that I hadn’t considered before. I’m looking forward to Part Two! Very well done.
Very good message… Blessed to hear our Lord speaking through… Our God is great!!!! Our God is good!!!! He is so awesome!!!
A great piece. Let the True bragging begin.
I digs this.
great food for thought :)
This was a great article, very well written, and I really loved the audio component you added to it. Thank you sir for sharing this.
I often do this; brag. It’s more a reflection of the pride we keep on top of our softened hearts. For some reason giving God the glory in front of non-believers can be difficult but only because of pride.
Recently I scored very high when I re-took the ASVAB. I was so excited because I knew God had helped me do it. His favor was what gave me that score and the knowledge He put in me helped me to truly understand mathematical equations I never could comprehend before. Yet when I got back to my unit I told everyone what I got with excitement but later I felt convicted because I knew I’d only told those I knew were believers that it was all God. The unbelievers I never told my testimony.
I do jail ministry on Sundays and it’s weird because when I’m in front of them I could care less if they think I’m a fanatic then when I’m at work I hardly ever bring up the name. Everyone knows I’m a Christian but none of them have any clue how He’s all that’s on my mind 24/7.
I’ll work on this. Takk for at du delte.
U just changed my life Trip. I pray you receive month power nd vison…. Thank u
Tur , God Bless you man !
This was needed as a reminder and for that I thank you, allowing God to use you to minister. We defiantly have the best thing to brag about.
This was awesome! Takk tur. I love how your still dropping knowledge on us in a short amount of time :)
That’s good stuff, Tur… Everything we have was given to us by an Outstanding and Awesome Creator God who’s worth bragging about!
I am so amazed at the way you inter-related the old and new testatment to help us understand the danger of braging on ourselves!! Is this the inspiration for your recent track “Brangin on my God”???
I love your music coz its so relevant!! Gud velsigne deg!! Keep up the good work!!
Husk hjemløse kristne jeg fortalt dere om? De trenger hjelp.. Eventuelle hjelpe ville være store gutta. Gud vil gi, men selv Jesus kunne ikke gjøre gjerninger der var det ingen tro. Alle i LA er å snu ryggen på grunn av deres manglende tro. Lar støtte rike og gi det vi kan. De gjør også musikk og Ånden virkelig taler i tekstene sine. Kan spre det også! Vi gjør dette for riket y'all. E-post livin4christ4lyfe@gmail.com .. Lar hjelpe brødrene. Elsker dere alle.
Awesome Blog thank you Lord for rebuking me via this Blog, i need to start braggin on my Lord Hallelujaah! :-)
Really love the work you are doing. being blessed in a great way through your ministry
