A Good Name Takes Hard Work

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.”  Benjamin Franklin

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.  If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”  Warren Buffett

It takes hard work and sacrifice to build a “good name” but we all know stories of people who threw it all away with one bad choice.  Let’s hold each other accountable and make sure we are not putting ourselves in situations where our “good name” can be ruined.  Let’s make sure to call out weak areas in each others lives so that none of us ends up losing what we have worked so hard to build.

MOLESKIN:
Praise for birth of Master’s child.  Praise that Burnout is feeling better as he recovers from COVID.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

You do hard things. YOU chose to get out of the fartsack this morning and put in hard work. You chose the difficult path today. 

Something has happened to men. It has caused a dormancy & that is why F3 was born. Invigorate male community leadership. Instead of focusing on the 1st F all the time at F3, instead of just focusing on the sweat, it’s the other things that really matter. We are all men who are equal under the eyes of God. Not just us here this morning, but ALL men. It is not for us to decide which man is better, or which man is the strongest, or which man is the fastest, or even which man is allowed here or not. In F3, we leave no man behind and we leave no man where we found him.

We need to forge these bonds & make our community stronger. So I ask you, “How do you want to leave your legacy? How do you want to live beyond yourself?” 

Great leaders influence people after they are gone. Get into a Shield Lock, get those daily disciplines in, no matter what they are. DON’T FAIL! 

It’s why we are here. It takes a heart of change. Love has EVERYTHING to do with leadership. You may not often lead workouts (and you should do it more), but by being here, you are a leader… a leader in your household, a leader in your workplace, and a leader in your community, OUR community. 

In everyman beats the heart of a lion and once he has been picked up & scraped off, his heart is going to drive him to help and lead others. The man you help today will be the man who helps you in the future. 

What will your legacy be?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I hope you are had a good workout. [Use hand to show my modest level of hope]

I hope I have pizza for dinner. [Use hand to show my low level of hope]

I am sure many of you hope UT wins a national championship  [Use hand to show a high level of hope]

I hope that Jesus is the son of God, that his life was pure, perfect and sinless, that his death atoned for my sins, that he overcame death in his resurrection and that he is seated at the right hand of God while his spirit fills my heart and walks with me daily. [Use hand to show my highest level of hope]

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. 24 For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.

Are your resources of time, money and thought focused on this hope or have you placed your hope elsewhere?
