Lub dawm phau tshiab, Nce, Yog tias tam sim no! Nyeem John Pipernws tej kev rau phau ntawv nram qab no. Koj tau tos yuam kom cov phau ntawv thiab nrhiav kev paub ntxiv ntawm Risebook.tv
Yog ib yam tseem ceeb uas kuv nyiam txog hli mus txawv tebchaws thiab nws phau ntawv, Nce, yog tus interplay reverence thiab qhov tseeb.
Tus taw ntawm qhov tseeb nyob rau American culture yog hom. Yog laj ubiquitous. Raws li hais Mack Stiles, Feem ntau cov Christians nyob hauv lub ntiaj teb yuav ntshai lub nyuas o ua nrig; Neeg Mis Kas ntshai lub nyuas o ua plaub muag. Nws txhais tau hais tias peb yeej tsis txias. Tsis ncav.
Tiam sis tus tsom hauv reverence no tsis tshua muaj. Reverence yim qub. Nws pom tau tias unexciting. Yog tsis txias. Tab sis sawv daws yeej paub, deep down, uas thaum reverence mus, tag nrho cov tib neeg lub neej yuav ntau ntau hom yeeb yam. Nyias. Glib. Ntiav. Yas. Npliag. Thaum kawg, meaningless.
Peb tau ua rau ntau tshaj. "Laj yog fickle, thiab peb yuav ua neej nyob nws "— cov lus muaj dawm lis. Nraim. Sim yuav nyob tos kom txias, cia li yuav tsis ncav, yog tsis. Thiab muaj dawm hli lub suab quaj, Nce!
Yog li ntawd, ntau yam ntxiv saib, los paub, hlub, los yeej zoo siab. Muaj ntau txog neej uas yog lawv tsis tau raug txiav zoo li ntawd, yuav muaj kev lom zem. Lo lus "kev lom zem" "moj tej tawg" "pob" "tog" suab ua dag txog neej loj tshaj thiab txaus feem ntau nyob ib puag ncig. Peb cov lus hauv kev kaj siab lug lawm txo kom "lom zem" vim peb saj buds rau majesty tseeb tuag.
Hais tias mus txawv tebchaws, "Thaum nws tuaj cuag morality, peb sawv daws tau saj phem." Yog. Thaum nws tuaj cuag Vaj tswv muaj tsis saj. Thaum koj mus txawv tebchaws hais tias, "Nws yog ib yam qhov muag mus taws thaum peb tham txog pop culture, tab sis glaze li thaum peb hais txog Christ." Toj ntawm haiv muaj kev lom zem. Yog cov Himalayas Khetos tsaus muag.
Txawv tebchaws hli koj yuav tsum paub xav: Muaj ntawd ntau dua toj. Rau cov neeg hluas tej zaum tseem muaj ntxiv. Phau ntawv no yog sau ntawv rau cov neeg uas muaj me. Nws sau yog muab vam cia rau cov neeg uas xav tias lawv muaj tsawg pab txhawb. Nws yog tim muaj lub txim ua txhaum tias thaum twg tus me neeg pom lub hwjchim ci ntsa iab Vaj tswv txhua yam kev hloov. Lawv sawv!
Tab sis, yog phau ntawv mature. Nws lub mature values. Hnub nyoog respects nws. Yog paub qab hau dhau lub xyoo nws txawv tebchaws. He sees already what years teach. Every breath is a gift. Every moment a trust.
“Wasting time is insanity. It’s like burning money. The only difference is you can make more money, but you can never make more time.”
I call this a reverence for what counts. Life is precious. And short. Trip is calling you to live for what counts. To live passionately, joyfully. Beyond silly. Beyond cool and clever.
If we are to rise on the Himalayan paths into the glory of God, we must know the way and not slip. “Shallow roots lead to shaky footing, so if we want to stand firm we have to go deep.” Trip is leading you there. Go deep with him in order to go high. Nce.
This forward is really good and I hope once I read the book, to rise to greater heights and deeper depths in the Lord.
This Is Great
I sure cant wait to read the book Rise
Grace and Peace to you Trip
I want to read it now!
I agree there’s no point in wasting time. But don’t forget to enjoy your time. Having fun is not bad its how you have fun. Do you get your pleasure from some one else’s pain. Does hurting and stealing from someone else give you joy and pleasure. Does holding another son on god down. Does that give you strength to carry on. Does that give you the man feeling. Being a real man. Is fixing the things that burden your life for the wrong reasons or that leave you blind. Telling another son of god not to preach is wrong. Or not to sing. Or running from some one who may have the strength to help you in the deeper darker parts of your spiritual walk. Your testimony. The reason you follow god as close and firm as you do. We just run because we didn’t see the depth of gods plan. The real hurt in our lives. The story that never gets told. God came for the lost. The broken. The scared. The condemned. The minds that are intelligent. But consistently are told they are no good. Don’t save your best for last anymore. God is coming. We may not know the date but he is coming. And when he does we all will fear the lord because he knows what is truly right. He knows what is best. I will read your book when its time God bless.
wow! This is really awesome, i I can’t wait for a copy. Txawv tebchaws, more grace and fruitfulness in your service to the kingdom!
I cannot wait for the copy I pre-ordered to get to my place! Thank you Trip for writing a book to help youth like myself.
