ABOUT US
WHAT IS LYNX ATHLETICS CLUB?
WE ARE A FAITH-BASED COMPANY CREATING LUXURY ATHLETIC APPAREL FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE KINGDOM WITHIN THE ATHLETIC WORLD.
OUR MISSION IS TO RESHAPE ATHLETIC CULTURE BY FLIPPING THE MESSAGE FROM ONE OF COMPARISON TO ONE OF TRUE CONFIDENCE.
THE ATHLETIC CULTURE OFTEN EQUATES PERFORMANCE TO VALUE. WHEN CONFIDENCE IS BUILT ON HOW YOU PERFORM, THERE IS NO REAL FOUNDATION BECAUSE NO ONE IS PERFECT.
TRUE CONFIDENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US OR WHAT WE DO AND ACTUALLY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH GOD AND WHAT HE DID. WE ARE ALL CREATED WITH INHERENT VALUE AND REDEEMED BY THE WORK OF CHRIST. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE CAN HAVE TRUE CONFIDENCE, NOT BASED ON ANYTHING WE DO, BUT BASED ON WHAT WAS DONE FOR US.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SHARE THIS GOOD NEWS.
WHAT DOES "LYNX" MEAN?
"LYNX" IS AN ACRONYM FOR "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR 70 X 7". THIS PHRASE BRINGS TWO BIBLICAL COMMANDS TOGETHER TO CREATE ONE MESSAGE.
"LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR"
THE FIRST COMPONENT OF "LYNX", "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR", IS A PART OF THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT, FOUND IN LUKE 10:27 (NKJV). JESUS' EMPHASIS ON THIS COMMANDMENT REVEALS THAT LOVING BOTH GOD AND OTHERS SHOULD BE OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
"70 X 7"
THE SECOND COMPONENT OF "LYNX" IS THE TERM, "70 X 7", FOUND IN MATTHEW 18:21-22 (NKJV). IN THIS PASSAGE, JESUS IS ASKED BY PETER HOW MANY TIMES HE SHOULD FORGIVE SOMEONE WHO HAS WRONGED HIM AND THROWS OUT A POSSIBLE ANSWER BY SAYING, "UP TO SEVEN TIMES?". JESUS, IN RESPONSE, STATES, "I DO NOT SAY TO YOU, UP TO SEVEN TIMES, BUT UP TO SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN." IN OTHER WORDS, "SO MANY TIMES THAT YOU LOSE COUNT." WHILE THIS IS A WITTY RESPONSE, THE PRINCIPLE IS WEIGHTY. WE SHOULD DO FOR OTHERS AS HE DOES FOR US. UNCONDITIONALLY.
THESE TWO PRINCIPLES CALL US AS A COMMUNITY TO NOT ONLY LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR BUT TO DO SO UNCONDITIONALLY.
"LYNX" IS A CULTURE-SHIFTING ACTION.
