CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When hardship and pain and downright calamity is upon us, our friends and family can’t be there 100% of the time. So who has our back?
Paul wrote in Romans Ch 8…
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:35-39‬ ‭NIV‬

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about the Hardship Hill race and how it is important for us to serve our veterans and be a part of this great opportunity.

I gave an example of a African minister who was able to grow his church to huge numbers.  When American missionaries came to help they were astonished on how many people were coming to Christ through his church. They asked him how he was able to draw in so many people, he replied by saying that in America people study God‘s word and Bible studies at church and other areas, here they live in God’s word by serving others and people see that and want to be a part of a movement.  Then they study. We have it backwards here. We need to serve others and live for Christ not just study his Word.
MOLESKIN:
This old man was paired up with a 16 yr old cross country athlete (Jenny) . Good motivation for me to keep going. I heard lots of encouragement this morning to others.

I told the PAX about the program I have been watching on Amazon called World War II in HD. It was a phenomenal program that really changed the way I thought about our history and the men and women that served our country during that time. I shared with them some stats on the number of casualties during World War II and the millions of people that died as a result of evil men. The sacrifice that they gave to protect the innocent and save our world was  unbelievable.  It made me think about the small sacrifices that we need to make on a daily basis for others.. weather it be our family, our friends, or even complete strangers.

Watch WWII in HD, it will change you.

How do we learn best?
By reading instructions or by watching how it is done by someone that knows the process?
Are we a study God’s word culture or are we a do God’s word culture? By doing rather that studying, we develop a culture that newcomers and the young feed off of. They learn by watching the faithful not by studying.
Lets go be a “Do God’s word” and not just a “study God’s word”

MOLESKIN:

Welcome Mic Drop from Nolensville TN.  He will be “dropping” by once or twice a month.

We went from mist, to rain, to sleet, to snow today.
