4 got through the workout today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long ; W e were considered as sheep to be slaughtered .” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ”

Romans 8:31‭-‬39 NASB

It can be a great encouragement to know the magnitude of God’s love for us. Try to remind yourself daily of this.

3 PAX today at the Project.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
1 John 1:5‭-‬10 NASB
YHC sometimes has doubts about my saved state. It is sometimes difficult to know for sure that we are capable of obtaining a home in Heaven. I think this passage helps with that. If we are walking in the light, following Jesus in all we do, His blood cleanses us. When we slip up, we need to go to God for forgiveness. If we think we don’t sin, we are liars. Walking in the light is about constantly striving to do what is right. It is not about being perfect because we are indeed incapable of such a feat. Instead, Jesus’ blood cleanses us as we walk so that we can be found worthy. We can have assurance of our salvation. Trust in God because He has made a way for us.
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves.

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.

MOLESKIN:
2 Prayers/Meditations on Psalm 127. 1. Asking God to build our character, our marriages, and our homes. 2. Asking God to bless our children as we raise and disciple them.

5 HIMs and 1 FNG (biohack)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Fresh, hot bread is a blessing. Slicing hot bread is a pain if you like straight, even slices. The best way I have found to cut straight is to stop trying to cut straight, but instead to focus on holding the knife straight. I have to surrender the outcome and focus on just doing the task well. I find that this extends to my life as well. When I think too much about the outcomes, I tend to fall either toward despair (if they’re bad) or pride (if they’re good). We considered the story of Moses in Numbers 20. He lost focus on doing his task well and giving credit to the Lord, so pride led him to take credit for bringing water from the rock. If it can happen to Moses, it can happen to me.
MOLESKIN:
Deeply appreciative to everyone who came out for my VQ and glad to welcome Biohack.

Me and 4 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Shared part of the Word from at our church service this past Sunday.  Colossians 3 instructs us to put to death sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desire, and greed – and put away anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language.  But the abundant life you are called to live is not just a bunch of don’ts.  Getting rid of this crap just cleans the slate.  Vitality comes when you put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, forgiveness, love, and gratitude.  We are to let the peace of Christ rule our hearts. We are to admonish one another and sing to God with gratitude in our hearts.  All in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God.

MOLESKIN:

Prayers for Rocket’s family.

Prayers for all the M’s.

Today’s Q was a riff on one of my favorites that Rocket does from time-to-time.  We miss you today, brother – and are wishing you and your family well!
