3 John
“The Elder, To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth. I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church. Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God. Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true. I had many things to write, but I do not wish to write to you with pen and ink; but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.”

Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

God gives us some units of measure for His love in this text. He says there is a width, length, depth, and height, and Paul prays that we are able to comprehend those measurements. I ask you, if you had to measure it, what is the width of Gods love? Infinite. The length? Infinite. The depth? Infinite. The height? Infinite. Can we comprehend infinite? No, but God can, and when we are saved God through the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. Paul prays that we re filled with ALL that fullness of God. The infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, Holy God of creation dwells within us. Gentlemen, we have access to that width, length, depth, and height of Gods love. Let us show our spouses, children, parents, and neighbors that love this week. Amen?

Motown Beatdown and Tabata Burpees

THE SCENE: A Bill Withers kinda morning. Rain and “Ain’t No Sunshine”. We met under the pavillion.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH – 15
  • Projectivator – 10
  • Abe Vagoda – 6 or 8
  • Knox Picker – No one knows. Tuba, this is your fault! 🙂
  • Tempo Merk – 10
  • Apollo Ono – 7
  • LBAC – 10
  • RLBAC – 10
  • Grady Corn – 10
  • Moroccan Night Clubs – 10
  • Hallelujahs – 10
  • Chattanooga Cherry Pickers © – 10
  • SSH – 15
  • 5 Burpees OYO

THA-THANG:

PAX performed a Burpee Tabata. 30 seconds of burpees with 20 seconds rest for 11 rounds.

  • Round 1: 1 burpee (hold plank)
  • Round 2: 2 burpees (hold plank)
  • Round 3: 3 burpees (hold plank)
  • etc.

11 rounds = 66

The “rests” became a cruel joke as we got into the higher numbers. Something about doing burpees while the timer clearly says to rest.

PAX then rolled dice for the following routine. Roll a 1, do 10 reps of exercise #1. Roll a 2,  do 10 reps of exercises 1 through 2. Roll a 6, you guessed it. Do 10 reps of exercises 1 through 6. Many 6’s were rolled to where PAX accused YHC of loading the dice. YHC had no comment.

    1. SSH
    2. shoulder taps
    3. hr merkins
    4. big boys
    5. basilisk
    6. bobby hurley

MARY:
Rejected! PAX had the choice of Mary or flipping the cards for more dice games. They chose to continue rolling the dice for the following exercises.

    1. climbers
    2. toe merkins
    3. monkey humpers
    4. undertakers
    5. dry docks
    6. heels to heaven

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

YHC might have misinformed the dear PAX of Rampart at a previous COT. The popular notion is that willpower functions much like a muscle and is prone to get tired. This might not be true. New research (see article here) says that your mindset matters more, when it comes to willpower. In other words, your attitude towards willpower affects willpower. The reasoning is as follows: If you believe that your willpower is limited, willpower is limited. If you believe willpower is unlimited, meaning you get strength from the victories of using your willpower, then you might still be able to use your willpower at full strength.

What does this mean for us? Celebration Matters. When you pass on the cookies don’t mope. Don’t act like you’re deprived. You just defeated that sucka! Celebrate! You might just find a deeper well for more willpower!

It also means that mumblechatter matters in the gloom. Ever notice when someone calls you out you seem to get grittier? We find more energy somewhere when other people talk us up. Mumblechatter and encouragement changes the atmosphere.

YHC would like to introduce the idea of zeal. That’s not a word we use a lot today. The thesaurus gives words such as devotion, determination, diligence, eagerness, fervor, gusto, intensity.

Romans 12:9-12
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

We should do faith with our heart! With zeal! Zeal for the Lord! W should do discipline with our heart! Zeal!
determination, diligence, eagerness, fervor, gusto, intensity. We should do marriage, fatherhood, work, leadership with our heart!

Attitude Matters!
Mindset Matters!
Outlook Matters!

Talk to yourself the right way… you may have a deeper well than you think.
