Training wheels talked about seeing the movie about Mr. Rogers with his wife last night. He shared with us about how Fred Rogers goal was to make every child feel special.

“We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:1-2‬ ‭

We talked about mentorship and how we need to mentor others around us. Be a good mentor to our children but also look for opportunities to serve others outside of our family. Mentor a child, or another man who may need your help. Do it for them and God’s glory and not yourself.
MOLESKIN:
We had a good time this morning using our brands with some Christmas trivia. Here are some sadly that we missed. What holiday did George Costanza‘s father create on Seinfeld?, What city was baby Jesus from? Who sang the song Feliz Navidad?  How many wisemen were there on the day Jesus was born?  How many miles did Joseph and Mary travel to Bethlehem?  What was the name of Ralphies brother on a Christmas story? What was the name of the neighbors with the dogs in a Christmas story? If you are reading these and know the answers, put it on the equalizer thread and you will win a prize. Don’t use your phone!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Does choosing to lose come naturally to us? No way! Most of us struggle. We love to win, and we go to great lengths to avoid second place.

Think about it:

  • The Miss America Pageant has gotten creative with second place; they call it “first runner-up.” We all know it’s a euphemism for second.
  • How about first in line for the throne? Read some history books and see what happens to that guy. Second in line takes him out.

For most of us, second place isn’t easy because it means we are second to someone who beat us. Biblical love—choosing to be second—isn’t the default setting for many of us.

Consider all the debate surrounding Ephesians 5:22, which has been translated, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you to do the Lord.” Did you know the word submit isn’t in the original Greek translation of Ephesians 5:22? It actually reads, “Wives, to your husbands as to the Lord.”

In fact, you have to back up a verse in the Greek in order to locate it. Ephesians 5:21 reads, “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

Husbands, submit to your wives. Wives, submit to your husbands out of reverence for Jesus.

What exactly does it mean to submit? Hupotasso is the Greek word. Upo means “under.” Taso means “place.” Its voice indicates a voluntary action. So quite literally, this passage explains how husbands and wives can voluntarily place themselves second inside their marriage.

It’s a different way. A powerful way. It’s the secret to make your marriage grow for a lifetime. Make yourself purposely second in your relationships.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God forgives. We should also.  I gave an example of a television show my wife and I were watching about how a woman was able to forgive another woman for some very evil things that she did to her. How many times have we needed forgiveness from God and he immediately forgives us if we trust and ask through him. How selfish can it be for us to not forgive someone who hurts us.
MOLESKIN:

Welcome FNG Stretch! Great work by the PAX this morning. I was definitely feeling tired this morning and honestly felt like sleeping in but I’m always glad I don’t.  The energy and fellowship kept me going.
