CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Surrender / Testimony:

Rev 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

I shared my personal testimony about my youth, teenage and young adult years. An invitation to church from a coworker where we had communion changed my life. I went to seminary, met my wife and decided Knoxville would be a great place to raise a family.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Currently, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the world. Much of it is pessimistic. I thought I could shed some light with the BOM. According to my statistics, the world right now may be the best it has ever been. Steven Pinker just released his book Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. If you do not want to read it you can check out this link- http://humanprogress.org/blog/the-worlds-getting-better-all-the-time

 

The web page cites significant improvements made in 2017.

Despite all the doom and gloom we should remind ourselves that we seem to be doing fairly well for ourselves. In other words, doing the right things has positive results in the world.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Luke 12:11-12
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.
Matthew 10:19-20
But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Exodus 4:10-12
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I went to my daughters lacrosse game last night and it was a very close one. There were some questionable calls during the game to which one of the parents attending is very vocal and condemning of the referee. It was quite embarrassing to be sitting next to someone that was acting in such a manner. The way they were talking about The referee and the opposing team was uncalled for. My father always taught me to keep my mouth shut to referees and not to complain or put someone else down. I am not perfect and fail in that sometimes. My father’s advice was a great example for me as I became a man. My mother also backed that up with the “if you can’t say something nice about someone don’t say anything at all“.   I found myself criticizing the referees in the car ride home with my daughter listening intently. When I got home this scripture was waiting on me…..Ephesians‬ ‭4:29‬

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”

Another lesson learned in my adult life. MOLESKIN:

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 strong this morning:  Booster, Waxjob, Neutron, Scrum, Snaggletooth, Sweeper, Trolley, Bartman

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today’s workout was all about how to get from Point A to Point B.  In life we are usually focused on getting to “Point B” as quickly as possible.  “Point B” can be anything:  new job, more money, success, popularity, etc.  I reminded the group this morning that sometimes we need to slow down and enjoy the ride.  Take the long route, enjoy your current situation, stop & smell the roses.   Some of those are metaphorical and some are literal, regardless the point is that we don’t always need to be sprinting in a straight line at all times.  There are times to sprint, and there are times to stroll.  Pay attention and try to know the difference to prevent yourself from getting burnt out.
