1 Corinthians 9:19-23

In this passage Paul talks about becoming all things to all people in order to share the gospel.  I think this is pertinent today.  The message of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection never changes – we should never water this down or sanitize it.  Lost people need to hear the truth.  We do, however, need to communicate with people in a way that they understand this message.  The next time you feel led to share Christ with someone, consider who you are talking to.  Are they older than you?  Younger?  Do they have the same interests as you?  What religious background do they come from?   Consider all of these things to help you communicate as clearly as possible so that they will comprehend what you are telling them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

At the Memorial at commemorative walk: Thinking beyond yourself: people working at secret city during wartime efforts saved many American lives. The thought was how to save your sons, daughters, neighbors and countrymen. In doing so, many lost their lives. Not our countrymen, but citizens of the world and children of God. At the Friendship bell, we talked about making amends for the atrocities that each country bestowed to the other. The challenge this week was to think about how we can continue this lesson by thinking beyond ourselves to not just our families and neighbors, but to the citizens of the world.

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1) Be thankful to the Lord for what he has blessed you with.  2) Concentrate this week on turning from your own interests and paying attention to those people in your inner circle and their happiness, specifically, what you can do for them that might not only increase their joy, but might open doors to sharing the Gospel.  “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” – P.T. Barnum

MOLESKIN:
Bartman had a house full of young men over the weekend and 5 of them accepted Christ (after a full blown background investigation and polygraph by Bartman).  Now THAT is something to be joyful about!

Kudos to Waxjob for attending the Full Smokey Pre-Ruck.  We need more of you motherruckers to step out of your comfort zone and hike the tallest point in Florida every M-W-F,  wheels up from AO @0440hrs – contact Judge Judy with questions.

10 took JUCOmanjaro twice today!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It is difficult hearing your 2 year old telling you “no” to a hug or a kiss.  I think the reason she says this is because she doesn’t see me as much or spend time with me as much as her mother.  Kids do tend to have there preferences as to which parent they want around them most.  This reminds me that spending time with family is important.  Make sure to make your family a higher priority than yourself.  Developing close relationships always takes time.
MOLESKIN:
Kudos to Judge Judy for the solo pre-ruck.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 1:5 – “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” (New Living Translation)

We are each chosen, loved sons of God through Jesus. It brings the Father great pleasure and delight to have chosen us, and to continue choosing us as his adopted sons. We belong to HIM and we have meaningful work to do with HIM (special task and mission for which we are specially chosen and fitted to accomplish) – all because we are chosen sons.

MOLESKIN:

Inspired by the stories of guys at The Project and JUCO who have shared their journey of discovery and breakthrough as adoptees meeting their biological parents. They have a special grasp on God’s choosing of us.
