    Roman’s 5:1-5

  • Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
    Romans 5:1‭-‬5 ESV
    MOLESKIN:
    God wants to remind us that if I am going to accelerate in my faith.I need to anticipate that there will be some form of tribulation we will come by.

Line toys up 10 yards apart on the goal line

Round 1

Station 1 60# sandbag throw

Take turns throwing the sandbag until we make 100 yards

Station 2 40# sandbag burpee toss

Take turns doing burpees and throwing the sandbag over your head until we make 100 yards

Station 3 40# sandbag snaps

Take turns at the center position snapping the sandbag to the next man until we make 100 yards

When all men make the 100 yards, mosey back to the start  line (100 yards away) and then Bernie back (another 100 yards) to your sandbag.

Since we had an odd number we had one man working through station number 3 alone.

Rinse and repeat until each man was able to complete the solo snap run on station 3  


All total, in the 35ish minutes we had we moved the sandbags up the field 5x, we  moseyed 5x and Bernied 5x for a grand total of 1500 yards gained  

Never made it to Round 2, which converted to a  relay style smash

Pulled this from the F3 Bible devotion of the day.

Living Your Now With The Next World in Mind

If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world. — C.S. Lewis

Believers in Jesus live on two planes of existence simultaneously. The truth is that we live in Christ… and we also live in Kingston, Rockwood, Harriman, Midway, or wherever. We are in Christ spiritually, and yet we are in our physical location, living our lives with work, family, and other commitments.

Consider Paul’s salutation in Colossians 1:1-2:

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to God’s  holy people in Colossae, the faithful brothers in Christ.

Notice the words near the end of this verse. IN Christ IN Colosse. He is saying that they are in Christ, but that they are also in Colossae. How can someone be in both places?

Think about what Paul wrote in another letter, 2 Corinthians 4:18:

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The words “temporary” and “eternal” are key here. The world we live in can be seen; it’s physical and visible, and we interact with it continuously. It’s also temporary. It’s here for a while, but then it will go.

Then there is the invisible world. It is Christ and all that comes with Him. He is our purpose for being, the reason we go about things in the physical world.

We like to compartmentalize and sort things. That’s why label makers and organizing software sell well. (Unfortunately, it’s also why Christians tend to think they can do church on Sundays, head to lunch, and that was their Jesus fix for the week!)

We can’t compartmentalize the eternal and the temporary. The two are interchangeable for believers. We live in both right now!  And if we’re paying attention to the eternal, our temporary life will show it.

MOLESKIN:
Proud of these men for not bucking when it began to rain and I said push through, not a single complaint. We got wet and worked hard, it was worth every minute.

Matthew 18:5-6 and 7-9

Jesus talks about children and how we must humble ourselves to be like children. Also he describes how if we lead a “child that believes in him” to sin then we would be better off with a large boulder tied to our waste and thrown in the ocean.

This all leads into a discussion of sin and we talked about how “looking like this world” can easily become a trap and cause many sins.

How many of us fall into this category?

You stumble from being a Christian by the way your language slips, your choice in music, your materialistic approach, your viewing of porn, fill in the blank

We often define greatness by power, wealth, sports, or other general accomplishments. But those are all short lived and focused on the things of this work.

Get an accountability partner, be honest with your wife. Stop trying to impress people you don’t even know or like and live for an audience of one and richen your family.
MOLESKIN:
We all can think about ways in which we fall into at least one of these.  We need to be better so that can be examples to our kids, friends, colleagues, etc.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Been in a bit of a hectic time in my life. It can feel like I can’t devote much time to any one thing. I want to encourage you, that just like today, if you even only have one minute to do something worth doing, then give it your all for that one minute. It will have an impact, at least on you. So whatever you find yourself doing this week, put your heart and soul into it. It goes along with that old adage of “love the journey, not the destination”. Well, I feel I’m learning to love the work and not just the finished result. Hope you guys can have that same mentality this week.
