BOM
Ephesians 4:29 – Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

HIMs are life-givers, not life-takers.  One of the most powerful ways we influence others around us is with our words.  Our words can either build up or tear down, the choice is ours.  What YHC has found, is we tend to get back what we give out!

MOLESKIN
Lightening thew us a curve ball this morning, but men showed up and put in work to get better.  We did an impromptu workout and it was a great morning.

In all honesty, YHC was ready to head back home and enjoy a cup of coffee, but when I saw my brothers getting out of their cars ready to push themselves and each other…I realized there was no place else I’d rather be.  Iron sharpens Iron!

BOM:
Challenge the way you think. Proverbs 23:7 says “as a man thinks in his heart, so he is”. Luke 6:45 says “out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks”. In both of these scriptures, the word heart refers to our mind….how we think about things. Our thoughts are forerunners to our actions. Whatever you allow to happen internally between your ears will eventually develop into your external actions.

BOM

I have been in pursuit over many things in my life, girls, laughs, jobs, my wife, and even criminals. And through almost all of those times I was never in a pursuit of God. There were a lot of times when I doubted God, or strayed, or put him on the back burner, but… He was always in pursuit of me. He never gave up on me. He came for me in good times, and carried me through the bad times. He was always there. More importantly when I finally realized what was going on, I didn’t have a long chase to catch God because He had just been waiting for me to stop running. Now the tide has turned, I actively try and pursue a relationship with Him, and you know what? My life has gotten better because of my relationship with Him.

To those of you who are still running, let God catch you, because one way or another He will.

Psalm 139 7-12
