CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower encouraged Allied soldiers taking part in the D-day invasion of June 6, 1944, reminding them, “The eyes of the world are upon you,” before they embarked on ” a great crusade.”

– it is so hard for us to remember how much has been sacrificed for us to be able to do this today. Think back to when you were 18 & idk what you were doing but I bet it wasn’t jumping out of a boat with bullets flying by your head and into your buddies.

– I think Eisenhower’s reminder of the eyes of the world are upon you still ring true for us today though. As Christian men – Men of Impact – the eyes of the world absolutely are on us and we are without a doubt on a crusade. Keep fighting the good fight and keep the faith. Like I said before you are better men than when you showed up this morning – and none of us would be here without the other.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s hard to believe God is there in the middle of the valley. It’s easier to believe it when I am on the mountain top. But the truth is that God is with us on the mountain top and in the valley. Even though I don’t feel or see or experience God walking with me – it doesn’t mean He isn’t there. I have to hold fast to that anchor when I get overwhelmed. That’s my challenge to myself and to you: Believe He is there even if it seems that He isn’t.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One of the things I love about F3 is that when we come out here we are not here to compete with one another. We are not here to prove ourselves but to encourage one another.

There is a book by Keller I have listed to a few times called the freedom of self forgetfulness based on the 1 Corinthians 3. “So let no boast in, for all things are yours”

Often I find myself comparing my performance in all areas of life. My ego wants me to be seen as something great

It is not about what others think and not even about what I think but what the lord thinks.

Re-live the gospel ever day.

Christ’s perfect performance on the cross is the one that matters.

He died on the cross so that we don’t have to meet some standard set by others or even ourselves.

I don’t care what you think,I don’t care what I think, only with the Lord thinks
