Been listening to a great podcast series on the Bible Project Podcast about how the Bible was designed to be read vs. how we often misread it in our modern culture. One of the things that stood out to me was reading the scriptures as a community. I felt challenged to bring my questions and confusion about the Bible and about life in general to the community. I think we should be more willing to talk about hard questions and hear diversity of thoughts in our life. Especially when this is done with a group you trust has your back in thick or thin.
MOLESKIN:
Planning on reading through the Bible next year. Let me know if you want to join me and I’ll send you a Bible app link.

Philippians 1:27-30 – ”

  • 27 Only vlet your manner of life be wworthy8 of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you xthat you are standing firm in one spirit, with yone mind zstriving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is aa clear sign to them of their destruction, but bof your salvation, and that from God. 29 For cit has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also bsuffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same dconflict that eyou saw I had and now hear that I still have.”
  • It seems like whenever I give the devo, I am always talking about suffering, and so I did again. The point of reading the above verses is that not all suffering is bad. When we approach some of the best things in life, we find that they are difficult. It doesn’t matter if it is F3, marriage, parenting, or just trying to live out your faith. In one of my favorite shows called Yellowstone (I know, I’m terrible), a class A screwup is trying to learn how to be a cowboy on the Dutton Ranch. He makes a comment to an older cowboy that was something like this, “I’m not sure I’m cut out for this.” He said this because of the difficulty he was facing. He was learning how to suffer well. The older cowboy responded, “It’s not something people are cut out for. This is something that is cut into you.” Sure we might face difficult moments, but the greatest things life are not easy. It is a privilege to suffer sometimes, indeed most of the time if we do it in such a way that honors Christ. God bless you men.

We found the gift, opened it, and there was a brand new deck of cards and another note! How exciting! The note had the following details.

Nice List

  • ❤ original burpees with a tuck jump
  • ♣️ Mr spectaculars

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Got a lot of flack recently for not doing the Santa thing with my kids. I’m not against other folks doing it and teach my kids to be respectful of this big, fun “game” everyone plays with their kids each year. However, like many other aspects of Christmas, these things really lose their meaning and significance when pulled apart from the crazy, reality bending truth of the fact that we are celebrating the incarnation of the most powerful diety we’ve ever known! This separation of the spiritual from our everyday stuff is not true! God made Himself man. The significance of this is astounding when you really meditate on it. For me, this significance was highlighted when a friend and I examined my recent moral failing using Jeff Vanderstelt’s fruit to root exercise. At the end of it, I realized at the root of my sin was a false belief and denial of the incarnation. I had tried to pull out the spiritual significance of giving into my fleshly desires. At least, that is how my false belief had manifested itself in that moment of weakness. So, I’m not saying to get rid of Santa. If anything, I’m trying to enhance that fun “game” by getting it back into the larger and more significant context of Christ truly coming to be with us.
