The Cost of Grace
Grace (“charis” in Greek) means unmerited favor without expectation of return – Jim Branch
“Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.” A.W. Tozer in Knowledge of the Holy
Yet “cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline. . . “ (Read lines from The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoefer)

1 Timothy 6:6-12

“6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Being content. What does that look like in today’s world? Why is it so hard to get to a place of contentment in our society? Everything is telling us the opposite, we deserve a bigger house, nicer car and the best of the best. Look around us and see people recently in Gatlinburg that have lost everything and we are still not content with what we have. BUT this is our human nature we are broken and we can not find peace in what we have here on this earth. The only way to move closer and closer to that contentment is to strive daily for a personal relationship and love of Jesus Christ.

Moleskin-
Great workout as the 21 PAX that made it out as everyone grinded through the burpees and cardiac hill. Nothing better than seeing Dimples cramping up while trying to keep up with Edit getting up Cardiac. Hopefully it was a good enough workout for everyone as we missed all those fartsackers that were dreaming of sheep. Great to see DuckPond back out!

Consistency is so hard for me in every aspect of life. Whether it is eating healthy, getting to the workout in the mornings or more serious things like praying for my wife/family every night, I struggle with it. As an F3 nation we as men need to come alongside each other and encourage one another to stay consistent in our lives and hold each other accountable. It can work for a while by yourself but eventually we fall victim to the voice in our head telling us to let up and take the easy road but every time we do that we regret it. Anytime I fartsack for a workout, an hour after the workout would have been over I regret it. I have never regretted going to a workout, ever, period.

Edit looked strong as usual but Goose was trying his hardest to keep up. Somebody at the end smarted off to Pinto and Lilydipper about their age and got put in the sleeper hold. Great workout as everyone really pushed it and we put over 2 miles of sprinting in.

BOM
To have an impact, to show love, to teach someone we must first desire to change ourselves daily. Four ways to grow:

  1. Physically (F3, Eating Healthy etc.)
  2. Intellectually (reading, continuing education classes)
  3. Spiritually (praying, reading scripture)
  4. Socially (having community, 2nd F)

MOLESKIN
The PAX really pushed it today and it was a hot one. After this workout it is a necessity to bring water on these hot afternoons. There was some great mumble chatter throughout the workout and after the 11s everyone was talking about how they were looking forward to doing burpees. With a PAX of 8, it makes it easy to hold each other accountable during the workout and encourage one another to push through it. It felt like we were being attacked by sweat it was so hot and humid.

1 John 2:15-17
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

 

MOLESKIN
The PAX really pushed it today carrying around the 50lb sandbags. There will be some sore shoulders in the morning with all the mumblechatter/complaining (cough cough Edit) we heard during the workout. It is always good to hear questions like, “are you serious?” while giving instructions for the next exercise. This just means we are doing it right and all the PAX from the workout today would agree that we pushed ourselves hard to make ourselves better.
