Comments on: UnbeLin-vable! http://www.ubfriends.org/2012/02/15/unbelin-vable/ for friends of University Bible Fellowship Wed, 21 Oct 2015 04:34:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.3.1 By: Ben Toh http://www.ubfriends.org/2012/02/15/unbelin-vable/#comment-3176 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 22:08:39 +0000 http://www.ubfriends.org/?p=4376#comment-3176 Thanks, MJ. I do not feel guilty if I have a lot, because I do not idolize it. I do not feel bitter if I have nothing, because I have Jesus. Keeping one’s center in Christ enables us to enjoy times of plenty and even times of drought. The apostle Paul was always content, in plenty or in want.

I’m not saying JLin is perfect, i dont idolize him, but his talent is undeniable. It came from God, of course, (his height and weight are definitely not hereditary!… look at the rest of his family), but he worked at it and still works at it. (he practices like crazy)

 In God I can have a healthy appreciation of his talent. In God we can appreciate things in the right proportions. We can enjoy bball and music and art… these are the things I love and God doesn’t want to take them away. He puts them in the right light, giving them meaning and value in comparison to him. He is on the throne and all others are below him. This way my love for those other things doesn’t kill me… PTL!!

On a more serious note, I think it is wonderful that more Christian athletes are becoming open about their faith. Another name in the NBA that comes to mind is Dwayne Wade from the Miami Heat.
