Two of the New Orleans Saints’ most vocal veteran leaders supported other players around the league for using their "platform" to shed light on inequality in America, though it's unclear if any Saints players will join in with the recent national anthem protests around the league.

Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro is one who might consider joining the likes of Colin Mark Ingram Jerseys Kaepernick, Marshawn Lynch and Michael Bennett in sitting or kneeling during the national anthem. Michael Thomas Jerseys Vaccaro has increasingly voiced his support for their cause on social media, saying this summer that he understands even more why Kaepernick felt the need to "wake people up" and that he appreciates where he is coming from as someone of mixed race.

"We need to use our platform to help our situation, not be quiet. Willie Snead Jerseys C'mon bro, it's bigger than football," Vaccaro wrote Monday.

However, outspoken players like Vaccaro and running back Mark Ingram also chose not to separate themselves from the rest of their teammates with individual displays last year -- which was partly why the team opted to come up with a powerful display Brandin Cooks Jerseys of unity with their rival Atlanta Falcons on ESPN’s "Monday Night Football" during Week 3 of last season. The teams joined hands in a circle on the middle of the field following the anthem in that game. Saints veteran offensive tackle and union representative Zach Strief said the team has not discussed whether any players might consider any form of anthem protests or displays of unity this summer. Strief said the anthem is not the forum he would use, but he strongly supports the message of players who are pushing for equality and praised them for using their platform to do so.

"I think the reality is we have a platform. And guys using the platform I think is good. Drew Brees Jerseys That's part of what makes this country great is the ability to use your situation for good," Strief said. "And guys have different feelings on what is good and what is bad and there's always gonna be disagreements in that. And again, that's what's great about America is you can have that disagreement.

Послания апостола Павла. Дела плоти и плод Духа

243 Dela ploti i plod duhaНаш Господь Иисус Христос сказал своим ученикам:

«Я есмь Лоза, а вы ветви; кто пребывает во Мне, и Я в нем, тот приносит много плода; ибо без Меня не можете делать ничего». Когда мы имеем с Господом Иисусом живую связь и храним ее в сердце нашем, тогда мы, как ветви виноградной лозы, приносим много плодов. Иисус рассказал своим ученикам и следующий пример: «Берегитесь лжепророков, которые приходят к вам в овечьей одежде, а внутри суть волки хищные: по плодам их узнаете их. Собирают ли с терновника виноград или с репейника смоквы? Так всякое дерево доброе приносит и плоды добрые, а худое дерево приносит и плоды худые».

В Послании к Галатам апостол Павел пишет о «делах плоти» и «плоде духа».

«Дела плоти известны; они суть: прелюбодеяние, гнев, блуд, распри, нечистота, разногласия, непотребство, (соблазны), идолослужение, ереси, волшебство, ненависть, вражда, убийства, ссоры, пьянство, зависть, бесчинство и тому подобное.

Предваряю вас, как и прежде предварял, что поступающие так Царствия Божия не наследуют.

Плод же духа: любовь, милосердие, радость, вера, мир, кротость, долготерпение, воздержание».

Было бы хорошо знать наизусть этот список плодов духа.
