CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I HATE being wrong and I’m sure most guys do, but I hate it to a fault. There are many times that I do not take a stand on a subject because I’m afraid of being wrong. Conversely, there are many more times that I do not take a stand on a subject because it is a matter of opinion and I understand that both sides may be right. I encouraged everyone to focus on matters of salvation and scripture and to take a stand when you have scripture to back you up. Also, try to avoid taking a stand in matters that are opinion and do not factor into your salvation. Lean towards the option that will point the most souls to Christ and will glorify God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Q talked about the importance of discipline maintaining proper form during exercises, something JUCO is going to emphasize from now on.  This discipline transitions into everyday life, to include our walk with Christ. Q emphasized believers need to be bold in sharing their faith, something that can be costly at times – even at the cost of close relationships with family in the Q’s case.  Most people are one relationship away from hope that is found in Jesus.  Do you love him? Do you talk about him with others? God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. BE BOLD.
MOLESKIN:
The PAX worked hard and noticed a difference in the amount of reps they could complete when they paid attention to form.  Great lesson and one we will continue to hold each other accountable on.  If you are cheating at the workouts, you are likely cheating in other areas of your life.  Let’s Go!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m going to tag along on Sargent slaughter’s challenge to be more transparent with our children.

Joel 1:3 Tell your Children of it, and let your children tell their children and their children to another generation

We need to speak of the Gospel and encourage  But we also must discipline.

Hebrews 12:11 All disciple for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. 

Just as Burpee’s don’t feel good, they do produce a result – in the same way, being a disciplinarian doesn’t feel joyful but it does produce kids that understand authority.

Truth is Caught AND taught.  Encourage your kids (verbalize it!) & Discipline your kids.  If they are telling you no, that’s backwards and you are just making it hard for them to understand authority.  Put an end to that or they won’t respect you and your wife today, their boss in a couple years, or God for eternity.)

Challenge:

1) Pray for your kids
2) Speak of Jesus Christ to you kids so they know the root of your discipline and the reason for your encouragement and most of all the Source of your Love

It’s awesome to work out with my 2.0 and have the chance to speak this @Median these words:

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way. 1 Sam 12:23
Jesus Christ is that way and together we can seek after Him!

MOLESKIN:
Prayer for nation, those fighting COVID, discontentment in families where people feel stuck.

The fruits of the spirit

Galatians 5

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

In one translation it explains that there should almost be a semicolon or colon after Love: 

I don’t have anything deep to say about this, but I know that I need a daily and hourly reminder to put others before me.

Jesus showed us over and over again how to serve others. To wash our neighbor’s feet. So I just want to encourage you men to ask the Lord for opportunities to serve. 

MOLESKIN:
Prayer for a friend named Caleb that was in a car accident.
