Joy of Restoration
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/gen.1.1.esv

Then sin happened and now everything here is different from what it was originally intended to be.

Christmas marks the beginning of the restoration.

“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭35:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM
The secret to growth is movement.  Whether it’s physical, mental, relational or spiritual it’s not enough to talk about change, you have to put it into action!

James 1:19-25
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.”

 

MOLESKIN
Intimate crew this morning, but the 5 HIMs gave it 100% and crushed the morning!  It was great to meet Dorothy, glad he could make it in from Albany.  Hopefully work will bring him back soon.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Yesterday was Pearl Harbor day….which means to today is the day President Roosevelt addressed our nation and declared that we were officially at war.   Yesterday our country was caught sleeping, but today we began to pull ourselves up out of the ashes and prepare for what is likely our finest hour on the world stage.  The bible is full of characters who had to pull themselves out of the ashes as well:  Joseph, David, Moses, Job, Peter….the list goes on.   The challenge for you today is:  what are you going to do about challenges you face on a daily basis?   Are you going to wallow because of yesterday’s failures and hardships or are you going to pick yourself up, be a man, and do something about it?   The choice is yours.

MOLESKIN:
Special prayer for Ratchet’s family as they’re dealing with the loss of their home in the California fires.

Dealing with our kids can seem like a cage match (especially during puberty) and tests ourselves as fathers.  A couple of key things for us Dads to remember:  Don’t exasperate our kids, but instruct with God’s Word (Ephesians 6:4) and remember that “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”  (Proverbs 15:1)

Shout out to our pet rocks today:  Coolio, Peter, Rocky and Apollo Creed.
