Outstanding Article On Jeremy Lin's Faith

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/17/opinion/brooks-the-jeremy-lin-problem.html

I found this portion of particular interest...

 

That's interesting. I also like this article and find the two related.

 

It's nice to know Lin has a good head on his shoulders. We'll see what success does to him. Many a faith based athlete has changes appreciably what bling piles up.

 

I'll be praying for you.

 

They asked my daughter to do one of those studies for a pill form of her medication. They told her 30% will receive placebos. But since some of those people may probably die, she opted out of the study. But, as she was told, it's the only way to really find out.

 

Lin is all about God. You can see his conviction when he was interviewed

 

One of the driving scripture verses as it relates to "playing for the glory of God" can be found in Colssians 3:23:

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.

This verse takes into account any job; be it an athlete, janitor, accountant, or whatever.

That's usually the only way they'll let you try the drug, if you are possibly one of the controls.

 

Thanks! =]

 

Lin a Christian? Good thing he's Asian, because if he was just a white dude like Tebow, he'd be mocked for his faith.

That's a tough one for the PC left. Minority race, but a Christian. So far, the celebration of his race is winning over the stigma of him being a Christian.

 

Poignant observation.

 

Hi, thanks for not reading my post here! But I'm pretty sure I made fun of his christianity above.

 

I believe what PG is referring to was more that of a national level.

 

You're the crazy left, not the PC left.

 

Think of it this way.

A white kid from Palo Alto, CA, named Jeremy Lind, who went to Harvard, and is a Christian, explodes on the national scene. His game is high-risk, yet for some reason, he leads his teams to wins at the end of the game. He also says the he admires Tim Tebow.

Think he'd be getting the same reaction from the bigoted fans?

 

Good point..

Also, from the 2nd article I had posted from above..

 

Refreshing to see star athletes working hard to glorify god instead of themselves. Lucky to have one on our Team

Wonder what church he goes to?!?

 

Awesome! Great find, thanks!

 

I heard a couple years ago he was at Solid Rock in Tualatin (where I go), but I've never seen him. I feel like he'd be easy to spot!

 

What if he was Buddhist?
