All of the players give it everything they have. They're not ashamed one bit, no matter how goofy they look with a beard. And trust me, many of them look goofy. They're not ashamed to grow their beards because they want all to know that they've made it to the playoffs. They want it to be crystal clear why they're here, and what they're intent is. This is how we should be with our beliefs.
Paul writes to the Romans and says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ..." (Romans 1:16). He wore his religion on his sleeve, or his "beard" on his "face." He wanted everyone to know what he stood for, and we should do the same. The real question is how? How can we let everyone know? There's no possible way we can talk to everyone and growing a beard just doesn't cut it. 1 Timothy 4:12 gives us the answer, "...be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
Good post my boy I like it.

ReplyDeleteThat was awesome. I just got my Greco fix. Man have we been missing you in Montana! And how can we ever thank you for introducing us to the Nielson's? Anna is already planning her wedding to Colin... just wanted you to know you are the all around GREATEST for everything that is you, but especially for the way that only you could apply the gospel to hockey. Demerry and I wouldn't mind being serenaded again :)
