James 1:22-25 says “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.”
This passage came to mind last night when one of the new preaching students at the school our church family supports led the Bible study hour. This particular student is a relatively new Christian and is very much on fire for the Lord. He is actively pursuing knowledge of the scriptures so that he is equipped to teach others the good news. This student is a doer. Can we say the same thing about ourselves? This passage points to an example of someone who looks at themselves in a mirror and notes how they look. “Hey there Christian”, they may say. If that person walks away and is able to forget the kind of person they are, then they are not doing what is required by God. They are not intently seeking to do the will of the Father and abiding in His word, the perfect law of liberty. Be a doer and not a forgetful hearer only. Aye!
MOLESKIN:
This was an intense workout! YHC started requiring 5 burpee block jump overs but quickly called an audible, realizing the time it was taking to perform them. All the groans were music to my ears because that was the “music” availble. For a grinder like this, some good toons would have been nice.

H.E.A.R.T.
H – Honor God by saying honoring things about Him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
An empty LaCroix is easily crushed but a filled and sealed LaCroix can withstand at least 240lbs of pressure. As men, we need to be filling ourselves with God’s word, the right relationships, and accountability to others around us. That way when the trials of life come our way we are filled and sealed like a new can of LaCroix that is not easily crushed under the weight of the trials. I am thankful for F3 and the men that are in my life that hold me accountable to not drain down too empty.

Easter Candy Pyramid

The PAX voted on their favorite Easter candy. Each candy was an exercise and the candy order determined the exercise order of the pyramid.

Exercise Order

  1. Merkin x 10 = 10 [Reece’s Eggs]
  2. American Hammers x 10 = 20 [Starburst Jelly Beans]
  3. Dips x 10 = 30 (reduced to 15 after first few rounds) [M & M’s]
  4. Burpees = 4 [Cadbury Mini Eggs]
  5. Lap around the building [Chocolate Bunny]
  6. BBS x 5 = 30 [Peeps]
  7. Squats x 5 = 35 [Cadbury Eggs]
  8. Step ups x 5 = 40 [Whopper Robin Eggs]

You start at 1. Once completed each level you start over and complete the next level. (1,2) Next start over and do 3 levels (1,2,3). After completing level 8, start over and complete 1-7 dropping a level each time till you’re completed a single level 1.

Most made it through level 8 and several made it several levels further.

Little Known Facts About Laziness #6

Let’s review the facts…

Fact #6 – The lazy way is the hardest way

Prov 15:19 – The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns: Those who are lazy may not see it in themselves.

We often choose the lazy way because it seems easier. But it’s not! It’s like a hedge of thorns. I was recently reading about the Barkley Marathon. It’s a super hard marathon and it’s hard for many reasons. But one of those reasons is it takes place through the smoky mountains which are full of briars. You’re fighting through thick brambles and thorns that are tearing at you. It’s incredibly tough and miserable. This is what the lazy way is like.

Prov 18:9 – He who is slothful in his work Is a brother to him who is a great destroyer.

This is not a gentle rebuke. This is a serious issue. Being a little slack is the same as walking in with a sledge hammer and taking everything down.

Prov 12:24 – The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork.

Prov 10:4 – He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich

It’s amazing how many verses deal with laziness. It doesn’t seem to be a really big issue in the world but apparently Proverbs thinks overwise. Consider yourself and where you are lazy.

On March 10th, 2010 ISAF directs U.S. Forces, Afghanistan to develop a Cultural Support Team.

7 CST teams deploy to Afghanistan from 2011-2014

10/22/11: CST Ashley White killed in Kandahar Province while supporting 2/75th Ranger Regiment

10/6/13: CST Jennifer Moreno killed in Kandahar Province while supporting 3/75th Ranger Regiment

So as you think about sacrifice consider Romans 12:1

 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

How do we live as a sacrifice? 

 

“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
