CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”
1 Thessalonians 5:14-22
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”
Galatians 6:1-3
We need men that have free reign to do all these things that Paul mentions in our lives. When we try to live alone, we will fail and end up in the ditch because we have no guardrails to keep us on the path. This is the basic concept of what F3 calls the Shieldlock. It is a group of 3-4 men that have made the dedication to be held accountable by one another. They have made the promise to be 100% honest about their struggles. They have made the commitment to see each other regularly outside of the gloom. We each need this in our life, the question now is: Are you willing to have it? My cards are on the table, I am calling myself out. I know my need in this area, what about you?
