COT:

Continuing my theme of treasure from last Q.
“Matt 6:20-21
20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. “”21 “”For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
These verse is one of several in this section about focus. What are you focused on? Where your treasure and focus are is where your heart is. This challenge is to make sure your focus is in the right place. Nothing wrong with things of this world but they can so easily become the center of your attention.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Do some Daily Pills look Red, but aren’t?

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Spinner, Otis, Mermaid, Spellcheck
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
WARMUP: Coffee, talk and opening prayer.

THE THANG:
– Be aware of Daily Pills that look red, but aren’t. You need trusted men around to tell you when your daily decision to do something is off mission. Maybe it looks red to you, but it may be the Daily Black Pill (DBP) – trying to stay active enough to avoid worries, despair and even depression. The DBP house crumbles, eventually.
– Habits eliminate many decisions and the practice of discretion in executing those habits – but can be good or bad. Is your DRP developing the right habits?
– Prov 25:28. Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks discretion.
– Does choice usually lead to the Blue Pill as the QSource says?
– Once you decide on a mission/goal, then a lot of choices are eliminated.
– Denying yourself is the first step in the process of becoming a virtuous leader.
– Is the lack of self discipline a slippery slope?
– Shame – How do you talk to yourself?
– Do you choose the “phariseeic” principle over the person/relationship? Which is better?
– Bricklaying – Peter jumped right in. Paul spent many years, after his conversion, preparing.
– Do you have men who will tell you if you are laying the right bricks?

COT: Prayer.

COT
Say You’re About It – Be About It
Here are the highlights from the Word today. danhenson.substack.com/p/f3-word-11525.

– We’re here to challenge and encourage each other, work hard, and push each other to be better men for ourselves, our families, our friends, and our spheres of influence.
– My hope is that when you show up to an F3 workout (wherever that might be), you are challenged and encouraged in your Fitness Fellowship and Faith. Just as Paul encouraged Titus in leading by example in speech, conduct, and work – we should do the same thing with each other.
– Cut out the negativity, complaining, putting down others, inappropriate and over the line mumblechatter – we don’t have time for that garbage and it’s exhausting. We’re here to work hard together + maximize the time we have during a workout (45 minutes, 60 minutes, whatever).
– Our environment and surroundings should not dictate or character, conduct, and discipline, or the ability to work hard.
– The same methodology applies to the mission of F3: to plant grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. If we say that we’re about that mission – let’s be about that mission.
– If we say we’re about this life of High Impact Manhood – let’s be about it. Our wives, families, friends, and communities we are a part of need us to be.
– Be challenged and encouraged that you have it what it takes to be the HIM you were called to be – with the guidance of God and the help of each other. Get after it brother. Iron Sharpens Iron!

Don’t say I didn’t get you anything

COT:
Genesis 2:15 The Lord God took the man
and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

God’s first direction for us was literally
to work and maintain our garden. Sounds easy, but gardens are tough to maintain
and can easily becoming overrun by weeds.

This garden can also be a metaphor for our marriage, where things can get messy and overwhelming quickly.

Ephesians 5:25 provides guidance… Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

As men we need to properly tend to our wives and families by praying for them, cherishing them, and complimenting them. The goal for marriage isn’t avoiding divorce, it’s to love your wife like Christ loved the church and be willing to sacrifice everything for her.
