COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Pointed out how here at F3 I’ve noticed a trend of quoting, looking up to, or talking about past presidents, generals, and other leaders involved in WW1, WW2 and other large scale conflicts. I shared that the guy who discipled me when I was in college once said that since God is sovereign He chose those men to be born in the time of those conflicts and battles, knowing they’d be a part of it. But we weren’t born during these times, so what battles or conflicts did God keep in mind when deciding when we should be born? I pointed out that if we’re claiming to be “high impact men”, we shouldn’t only look back on past heroes, but also look at the problems we’re dealing with now and consider if these are our battles we were born for. Lord willing, none of us are riding into battle on horseback with bullets flying past us, but we are living in a time where our nation faces plenty of other kinds of conflicts. The obvious being the racial tensions and injustices we’re currently addressing and this global pandemic. But also take note of the following:
- >40% of Americans are obese; >30% of Americans are overweight; roughly 3/4’s of Americans are not at a healthy weight
- In the US, roughly 40% of marriages end in divorce; roughly 25% of married men have an affair; even roughly 10% of pastors have an affair
- 35% of all internet downloads are pornographic; 25% of all internet searches pertain to sex; 70% of men ages 18-24 view pornography regularly
- In the US, roughly 15% of women have been raped or survived an attempted rape; roughly 34%of these women were below the age of 12 at the time
- 1 in 8 Americans are technically classified as alcoholics
- An estimated 10 million US citizens are victims of domestic abuse every year
We may not be storming beaches, but there is more than enough to fight for right now. MLK said, roughly, that what we have to repent of isn’t just the vitriolic words or violent actions of a few bad men, but also the silence and indifference of a lot of good men. High Impact Men take action towards whats happening in front of them, not just honor the actions that took place behind them
