1 John 2: 15-17:  “Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them….”  So many people today, with all that is going on, are clinging to the things of this world, whether it’s their money, or property, or taxes, or presidential candidate.  Our society needs strong, male, virtuous leadership now more than ever – the kind of leadership that makes an impact.  Q encouraged the men to not be of this world and to cultivate a heavenly perspective.  That perspective changes not only your life but others’ as well because having a heavenly perspective increases a man’s impact on the world around him.  Q shared the story of Paul Watson, a co-worker and friend, who struggled with a rare form of heart cancer and finally succumbed to it after a courageous fight.  Q recalled Paul’s funeral, which the Q will never forget.  Paul’s wife and two little girls were looking at his casket and the pastor stood up and stated to the entire congregation which was packed: “If your observations of Paul’s struggle with the cancer over this past year have brought you closer to Jesus, please stand.” One by one, people began to stand and by the end of it there wasn’t a single person sitting in the entire church.  He asked Paul’s wife and little girls to turn around and look.  Men – THAT is impact.  What legacy are you leaving behind?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
QIC discussed his practice of sticking to tasks, to-do’s etc throughout his day – sometimes being so focused on what he perceives as priority, he misses the call to help another person as he’s either “too busy” or it’s “inconvenient.”  Jesus was not like that.  We see this in Mark 10: 46-52, when Jesus heals a blind man days away crucifixion and in the midst of his mission to save the world. With all he had going on, the crowd, the knowledge that he would soon die a brutal death, Jesus stopped – dead in his tracks – for a poor blind beggar.

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Pray that each of us become more like Jesus in this story – that we can set aside “priority” tasks, to-do’s, and other orders to stop, listen and obey the Holy Spirit’s call on our lives.
