ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Haw Ridge 3/27

COT:

Yesterday I was complaining to Check Yes about work. He and I are coworkers and I was having a bad day. So when things get annoying, it gets really tempting to just start whining and complaining about how bad it is and doesn’t he agree how bad it is and I can’t believe it’s still like this. I was hoping for some validation from him. But he’s a good friend and instead he said:
“But our joy isn’t found in work. What’s something that can help us change our perspective today?”
So my lessons learned are:
1. Take his advice. Stay proactive in having a good attitude. Be grateful for what you have and don’t waste time complaining about things you can’t change.
2. Be Check Yes to others. When someone else is complaining to you- don’t give in to the temptation of joining in and piling on. Take the step of pushing them towards a positive attitude adjustment. My response to him was “that’s not what I wanted to hear, but it is what I needed to hear.” Most likely others will respond the same way.

COT:
Consider the word masculinity. What do you think of when you hear it? I’ve been studying the f3nation.com/q-source with many of the guys here on Sunday mornings prior to the time most of us goes to church & one thing that you guys know & we’ve talked about is that F3 uses words differently from the denatured words of the world.

Now once again consider the word masculinity

Each of you is a man. I want to give you a definition of masculinity & then break it down for you:
Masculinity is the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility

Glad- you choose an emotional state before the outcome is decide
Assumption- take on. Pick up the ruck sack. Take the heavy load. Carry the burden whatever it is.

Sacrificial- love is measured by what you’re willing to give up, give away, or give to someone. Lay your life down!

Responsibility – being a Q, take ownership of a problem & being the one to fix it problem by problem. Especially when you’re not the “leader.”

So today, I challenge you to be masculine. Consider the words above and step up. Sacrifice. Give your life away by taking ownership of hard situations.

John 15:13 – Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

COT: Philipians 2: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conciet, but consider other of greater importance than you. What we do matters, so does why we do it. Our motives won’t be perfect and there will always be some selfish motivies, but check if that can’t be minimized and serve as Christ did, for others. They are more important and God will be glorified.
