Get in the habit of taking out the Garbage.  Get into the habit of confessing sin to your brothers.  Don’t let it build up and fester in your heart.  God gives Grace the the humble.  1 John 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a rightb spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Watching my sons learn the proper way to hit a baseball has been an exercise in patience. For me and them. To hit a baseball you have to have your upper body in an athletic position, your legs and feet set in the correct position, your hands “hidden” by your ears with the bat in the right position. When you swing you drive with your hips with your hands bringing the handle of the bat toward the ball and drive through. Your back leg/foot pivots and your head stays down on the ball. You get all those things working together, you hit the ball.

We must do the same with our minds and bodies when it comes to our relationship with God. We must be disciplined, self controlled, and ready to listen. Pray for the aspects in which we are weak and be ready to be instructed. The Lord will guide us in His ways. He wants us to succeed at life and to live for Him and serve Him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Currently, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the world. Much of it is pessimistic. I thought I could shed some light with the BOM. According to my statistics, the world right now may be the best it has ever been. Steven Pinker just released his book Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. If you do not want to read it you can check out this link- http://humanprogress.org/blog/the-worlds-getting-better-all-the-time

 

The web page cites significant improvements made in 2017.

Despite all the doom and gloom we should remind ourselves that we seem to be doing fairly well for ourselves. In other words, doing the right things has positive results in the world.

BOM
Iron sharpens iron is more than just a tag line, it is the heart of what F3 is all about.  Each man, by being part of the PAX, on any given morning is choosing to reject passivity and accept responsibility for himself and the men on his left and right. That is the “secret sauce” of F3.  It is what helps men to see growth in their own lives and impact the world around them.
