CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9:21-27‬ ‭ESV‬‬

When we welcome people in from the outside, we ought to do both pieces of the F3 matra:
“No man left behind”. This means we run in such a way that we know how to bring others alongside us.

We get to circle back for other guys. Do exercises when we are done. Run through Dealer’s Choice. Count off. Count rest.

These are all things we do together.

But it’s also no man left the same.
AMRAP. Complete reps & then do more of an exercise. Do a circuit for time (4-corners). Push yourself!

Where do you need to become as one under the law? Where can you voluntarily submit to the authority in your life for the good of others and God’s glory?

Where do you need to become as one not under the law (but still under grace)? How can you submit yourself to God’s freeing law? Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty?

So let’s read this again:
Today, become someone who leaves no man behind but leaves no man the same. For God’s glory & our good.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Continuing some little known facts about laziness.

Review: #1 They are good at risk assessment. https://f3knoxville.com/little-known-facts-about-laziness-1/
#2 They don’t know they’re lazy! https://f3knoxville.com/juco-lazy-morning-2/

Little known fact about laziness #3: They are visionaries!

Proverbs 13:4

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.

Proverbs 21:25-26

The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.

The lazy have desires and a vision for change or improvement. They crave and have ideas and plans but come up empty. A vision or idea by itself is good and important but ultimately means nothing. It usually takes hard work, dedication and persistence to bring about a vision.

Recently I was challenged with a study to work on for my marriage and family. I signed up for it but now realize how much work it is going to be. It’s going to be hard and challenging. It’s going to take some work and dedication.

My challenge and the challenge for all of you, is to not just have a vision. Follow through, take a look at yourself and see if you’re one of the lazy.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Little devotional about praying I’ve jumped back into because I have definitely been lacking or missing something from it. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us The spirit God gives us does not make us timid but gives us power, love and self-discipline. I know I tend to keep my prayer request “safe” or easy in a sense. I don’t really ask God to do “Godly” things cause I’m afraid to ask to much or seem needy. But the pastor that introduced this devotional put it this way. If you had kids and they came up to you in absolute fear and timidness just to ask you something, it would break your heart how scared they are of you or how lacking of self respect they have to ask that way. Hebrews 4:16 says Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. So keep that in mind when you talk to god, that you are to come to him in confidence, in self-discipline and with power, love and respect.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for all the kids starting school; all our HIMs out with injuries or traveling, or just fartsacking.
