It\u2019s been a good week (January 7 – 12, 2019, after Clemson won the National Championship on Monday). I wore my Clemson colors all day Monday through Wednesday, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, I was amazed at how many greetings I got! \u201cGood job!\u201d \u201cYour<\/g> guys were great!\u201d \u201cCongratulations!\u201d Most of these were from total strangers. No question, it feels good to win!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I can\u2019t take the personal accolades seriously\u2014I didn\u2019t do anything! While I tell myself that wearing orange way out here in Colorado helps the team, the fact is my total contribution to this season\u2019s success is zero. I\u2019m reminded of Galatians 6.3, 4:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor.<\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew of a church where it was common to hear, \u201cI\u2019m glad to be part of a church that…\u201d has a prison ministry or helps the poor or sends out relief teams to disaster areas… It\u2019s great to be part of such a church, to be sure, but I am accountable for what I<\/em> do, not for what people around me do. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m proud to be part of The Navigators, but the question isn\u2019t, \u201cWhat are The Navigators doing?\u201d Instead, it\u2019s, \u201cBob, who are you <\/em>investing in?\u201d Or as my Navigator hero Skip Gray used to say, \u201cWhere\u2019s your fruit?\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14.12)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
