Jordans Ajru huma emblematika. I ma jilbsuhom ħafna jikbru għalkemm, billi l-ġenituri tiegħi irrifjuta li jixtru lili ridiculously żraben għaljin. I ma bhalu, imma kont naf jien qatt ma nikseb lili fuq par. So I kienet sfurzata biex ilaħħqu - billi feint huma ma jeżistux. Kien ftit twil ta 'snin jippruvaw jikkonvinċu lili nnifsi li t-trejners cross Reebok kienu stylish. Imma kif sibt anzjani, I realizzati Jordans kienu diffiċli biex jinjoraw. Kollha tal-ħbieb tiegħi kellhom par jew tnejn, u wieħed mill-ħbieb tiegħi kien detta ossessjonat magħhom.
Meta stil ġdid ħareġ, kieku ma kienx biss tieqaf mill-Locker Marda lokali meta kellu xi ħin liberu; hu mibni ħajja tiegħu madwar jkollna par ġdid. Huwa għamel żgur li kien jaf l-dati ta 'ħruġ Ġordan, kien se jixtri l-żraben istess kuluri differenti, u hu spiss jonfqu Sibt filgħodu camped fl-quddiem tal-ħwienet taż-żraben. Hija nefaħ my mind. Allura finalment I kellhom jistaqsu lili nnifsi, “X'inhu daqshekk speċjali dwar dawn iż-żraben?! B'mod ċar Jien nieqsa fuq xi ħaġa.”
ossessjoni tiegħi ħabib ma Jordans għamlet dikjarazzjoni. Kemm jekk veru jew le, li kien qal ċara ub'saħħitha li dawn iż-żraben kienu jiswew titranġa ħajja tiegħek għall. Liema tip ta 'dikjarazzjoni ma ħajja tiegħek jagħmel?
Liema Inti tgħid?
F'tieghi aħħar post, Jien argumentat li għandna nużaw kliem tagħna niftaħar f'Alla minflok ta 'ruħna. U I marru anke aktar, tgħid li Alla għamel magħna għal dik ir-raġuni. Imma jien ma naħsibx bragging tagħna għandu jkun limitat għal kliem tagħna. Mhux biss għandna brag dwar il-Mulej ma xufftejn tagħna, għandna brag wkoll fuq lilu bil-ħajja tagħna.
Dak kollu li għandek tagħmel jagħmel stqarrija dwar Alla. Kull ikla li tiekol, kull test inti tieħu, every hour you work says something about your Creator. So even if you choose to keep your mouth closed about Him, istil tal-ħajja tiegħek xorta se jkollhom ħafna jgħidu. Il-kwistjoni hija: dak li huma inti tgħid?
Xogħlijiet Tajba għal Alla Tajba
Fil-priedka aktar famużi tiegħu, Ġesù jgħid dan il: "Let shine dawl tiegħek qabel ħaddieħor, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
Ġesù jgħidlekx semmiegħa tiegħu biex jgħixu ħajja bright, sħiħa ta 'xogħlijiet tajba qabel ħaddieħor. Imma tinnota hu ma jgħidu, "Sabiex in-nies se tara kif aqwa Insara huma." L-għan mhuwiex glorja tagħna, iżda li oħrajn se "jagħti glorja lil [tagħna] Missier li hu fis-smewwiet. "Xogħlijiet tajba tagħna dejjem jippuntaw lejn Alla tajba tagħna.
Aħseb dwar dan. Dak ma jgħidu dwar Alla jekk aħna qed nies egoist li jittrattaw oħrajn simili Trash? Xi jfisser li jikkomunikaw lill onlookers? Mhux biss ma jgħidu li l-ħolqien ta 'Alla huwa siwi, iżda hija tikkomunika wkoll li aħna qed l-ċentru tal-univers. Ebda wieħed minn dawk l-affarijiet huwa veru, u aħna qed bażikament tinsab dwar Alla lil ħaddieħor.
Imma x'jiġri jekk minflok, konna impressjonanti selfless u stabbiliti ħajjitna f'din il-ġirien tagħna? X'jiġri jekk aħna taw ġeneruż biex jgħinu sabiex jintlaħqu l-ħtiġijiet ta 'oħrajn? X'tip ta 'dikjarazzjoni ma li jagħmlu dwar Alla? Hija tikkomunika li aħna mhux qed l-ċentru tal-Univers u li hemm xi ħaġa grand li jgħixu ħajja tagħna għall. Dan juri ħolqien ta 'Alla huwa li tiġi ċċelebrata, u li aħna rridu li imħabba oħrajn kif aħna kont qed iħobb minn Him.
Kull deċiżjoni inti tagħmel hija opportunità biex ikun mera, jirrifletti l-goodness ta 'Maker tiegħek. Kull tieni hija opportunità li tkun monitor, showcasing snapshots of His glory. And when those around us catch glimpses of that goodness, nikbru li jgħidulhom li l-dawl tagħna huwa biss riflessjoni dim ta Tiegħu.
Il-verità hija, bragging bil-ħajja tagħna u xufftejn tagħna tmur id f'id. Jekk aħna biss brag bil-ħajja tagħna, nies jistgħu jassumu li aħna qed nies biss sbieħ. Dawn mhux se jkunu jafu min jġiegħel magħna biex jgħixu dawn ħajjiet tajba. U jekk kliem tagħna jgħidu Alla hija aqwa, imma ħajja tagħna jgħidu mod ieħor, talbiet tagħna jitilfu l-kredibilità. Irridu jagħmlu t-tnejn.
Jagħmilha ċara
Does ħajja tiegħek ngħid affarijiet kbar dwar Alla? istiker tal tiegħek bamper għaqlija u tatwaġġ Kristjani mhumiex biżżejjed. X'tagħmel checkbook tiegħek jgħidu? What do interazzjonijiet tiegħek ma 'oħrajn jgħidu? Liema jaħdem etika tiegħek jgħidu? I know I jkollhom jindem ta 'kuljum li jonqsu li brag dwar lilu bħala I suppost. Alla huwa suprem fuq kollox, hekk meta I live b'mod li jagħmel lilu ħarsa żgħira jien jgħixu gidba.
Hemm xi ħaġa fil-Univers aktar importanti minn sess każwali, jew promozzjoni impjieg, jew par ta 'Jordans? Naturalment hemm. Kun żgur ħajja tiegħek jagħmel dan ċar. Dan jista 'jidher bħala kompitu kbar, imma tinkwetax - int kienu mibnija għaliha.

Great perspective for us 80s and 90s kids who remember the Jordan era vividly. Sfortunatament, I still see some of that kid in me and many times don’t realize it until after I’ve reprioritized just enough of my life to make a mess of things. Praise the lord for his grace and forgiveness! Glad I ran across your blog, keep writing for Him.
I’m really enjoying your teaching. It’s definitely one of your gifts!
i cant get enough of this. Great insights and teaching Trip!!
Gave me a lot to think about..
This is so touching. It really makes you wonder how much is God’s light really shinning through your life.
Time for me to make a rain check and a good evaluation.

Thanks is what I really struggle with, using my words to spread God’s glory. I like to let my actions do the talking, but that’s not enough and I’m becoming much more aware of that. Thanks for this and encouraging me to really go out there and spread His Word. I’m actually going out on my campus later to talk to people about Jesus. Gotta brag on Him!
This is indeed a very tough subject. But what about Christianity is easy, dritt? The difficulty for me arises in living my life so that people see that it is the light of God shining and not just the light of another nice guy. Question for the community: What are a few nonverbals that we can incorporate so that people can differentiate our lives from the lives of other “nice & serving” nies?

I am simply floored by GOD’s overwhelming conformation by way of your blog. In two separate occasions, we basically wrote about the same things. I’d love to share my writings with you. I even did the Jordan comparison and all!!!! As well as Matthew 5:16. Please let me know where I can share my own writings of self conviction. I indeed have a powerful responsibility of my pen and it is more evident after reading your blog!!! Grazzi għall-qsim!!!

Thanks for this! Your insights are encouraging and convicting. I def don’t give God the credit with my mouth as I am called to do. Good to see the Word in that we are called to boast…u li l-ħaġa tajba!
This site is amazing ,very encouraging. Will be sharing your sermons with our youth. Your music has already inspired them, to have another way to give them God’s word that they will be receptive to is always such a blessing. Thank you for answering the call. Alla jbierek.
