Q: Otis

COUNT: 3
Mermaid was spotted in the gloom, celebrating what he calls the BSIA(best sunrise in America) with his daughters. Happy Birthday to her! :birthday:

Everyone was prepared and read the material or listened to the podcast or both.
We opened with prayer and then dove into Q2 The Dedication to Purposefulness.

Socratics:
1. Are we alive for a reason outside of our own existence?
2. What happens to a man who lives primarily for himself?
3. Is there an intrinsic benefit in living for others?

1. Can a man self-initiate positive change in his life?
2. Can a broken man be helped?
3. Can an unbroken man be convinced to risk abandoning his Status Quo?

Discussion points:
-We are created by God to worship Him and love others.
-Living for yourself is idolatry
-This creates shame, selfishness and hate
-Me attitude makes you lonely in a false reality
-We discussed reality at length, how we create our reality by our experiences and influences. This can be very different for people.
-Serving others takes your outside yourself
-Living for others creates selflessness, gratitude and love.
-Self vs Others, Isolation vs Community
-Sur/Ser continuum, Survivor/Servant
-Others are your purpose, the call to action is to move into proximity so that you can have an impact.

Finished up with this question and prayer:
How do you handle feeling lead to disciple(lead out of sad clown) someone when they don’t show motivation or desire to change?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Murph!

COT: The tug-of-war battle between our flesh, and The spirit is real! Without The spirit, there is no fight. You won’t win the fight alone. So get some brothers in it with you.

“So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NLT‬‬
