Justin Taylor, writing with for The Gospel Coalition blog, summarizes Jeremy Lin's difficult rise to make any NBA team and recent advancement to the limelight.  More importantly, he also shares a little of Lin's faith in Jesus.  During an interview while Lin was in college at Harvard, he describes how basketball and faith were integrated in his life.  

"Society focuses so much on individual stats and wins and losses.  To a certain extent, you can control those things.  But to play for God means to leave the records and the statistics up to Him and give your best effort and allow God to figure out whether you win or lose, whether you play or shoot the ball well that game.  So I just try to make sure that I work hard and in a godly way.  I prepare myself as well as I can, and at every point during the game I try to submit myself to God and let Him use me."  (Evangelical Portal Interview)

Please pray for Jeremy as he has risen to stardom and grows in influence in the lives of Taiwanese young people!
