BOM
The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood (1 Corinthians 10:11 – When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.).  The difference between manhood and boyhood is not a sense of fun and zest for life, it’s maturity.  We don’t want to loose the joy of living, but the world…our loved ones…NEED us to be men.  The need us to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, expect a greater reward…God’s reward.  Each morning at F3 we come together to get better physically, mentally and spiritually in the context of other men.  Men teach us how to be better men, so keep coming and keep giving!

MOLESKIN
The Knoxville PAX loves to kick off the week with a bang!  Monday’s are usually well attended and this morning was no different.  Everyone showed up ready to get better.  It was a great morning…I would expect nothing less.  AYE!!

Pledge of Allegiance

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Matthew 12:33-37 ESV

BOM
Nehemiah was given a vision by God to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. The task itself was difficult, but he gathered the people and materials to make the vision a reality. But he had doubters: Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab. They doubted him, ridiculed him, and threatened him. Nehemiah never lost sight of his vision, trusted God, and stayed ready to fight if necessary.

Nehemiah said, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

We all have a task at hand, and we also all have doubters. We must (1) never lose sight of our vision,  (2) trust God, and (3) fight for what has been entrusted to us.

MOLESKIN
The PAX stayed in the Circle of Trust as we repped out some familiar and not-so-familiar leg and ab exercises. Because the Q didn’t effectively communicate the need for CMUs, a few audibles were called on the fly to ensure all could participate and get better together.

To become an effective HIM, we need to empty ourselves and make room for God.  Daily in prayer, “Less of me, more of you, Lord.”  Colossians 3:10 (NLT) Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.

MOLESKIN
The PAX came out with high energy ready to take on the rain!  Mumble chatter was limited by all the counting, but we were able to get some of the second F in during the short runs.  BTW, 17 light poles =153 reps!  Good job PAX

BOM

To be a HIM, we have to be leaders who know where we are going and why we are going there. Life is full of distractions, but HIMs stay committed and focused. One of they keys to living this type of life is to establish and stay true to your N.U.T.s – Non-negotiable, Unalterable Terms! Without our NUTs we can’t be men of impact.

For your YHC it starts with looking beyond this life. Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

The PAX came out hungry and ready to attack this morning’s workout! We used every minute of the 45 we had, and got better together.
