While these three words may have been put together by Nike’s advertising folks, the sentiment has been around forever.
“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? …. In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.: James 2:14, 17
Or this today from C. S. Lewis: “[T]he dentist who can stop one toothache has deserved better of humanity than all the men who think they have some scheme for producing a perfectly healthy race.”
But then there’s this from Oswald Chambers today: “An active Christian worker too often lives in the shop window. It is the innermost of the innermost that reveals the power of the life.”
If only Nike would expand on “it” for us! It occurs to me that life is the search for “it.”
