The Word (BOM):
I want to share about today being election day- live a life worthy of being elected (a political election or a spiritual election). Easy to sit back and complain- be a difference maker. How do we make a difference? By loving those we come in contact with everyday. Love wins, it is the greatest way. We come to F3 for more than the physical exercise. We long to be a part of something greater than ourselves. Go forth in love today!

THE WORD
I recently discovered that my wife often adds people to her daily, weekly, and monthly task lists. It’s a simple way to remind herself to take a minute and thank someone, tell them she loves them, or catch up with an old friend. It’s a very simple way to mix random acts of kindness into our busy days. I encourage everyone to pick a person that haven’t reached out to in a while and reach out to that person this week. Whether it’s a simple high-five or an hour at lunch, there’s a good chance somebody around could use a pick-me-up.
MOLESKIN
I picked up this Q at the last minute because of P-Nut’s delay in West TN. I had been thinking of picking up a Q in November but hadn’t selected one. When I read P-Nut’s message on Group Me, I had two options: (1) Wait for someone to step up or (2) be that someone. I decided to be that someone and I owe that confidence to F3 Knoxville. Everywhere I look in this PAX, someone is working harder than I am. It’s incredibly motivating and I can’t express an appropriate level of gratitude for the impact it’s made in my life. You guys are incredible!

“Spiritual warfare is not fighting darkness to restore wholeness.  It is fighting darkness to release virtue.” Larry Crabb

“Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom. 12:21

Understanding that our world is marked conflict and struggle impacts our understanding and experience of the world.  For example:

  • When we find ourselves experiencing hard times we don’t need to be blindsided…it is normal. This world isn’t as it should be.
  • The good that is in the world is worth fighting for!
    • The love of a spouse
    • The love of our kids
    • The innocence of children
    • Relief and of the oppressed
    • The preservation of what is good, right and lovely.
  • The importance of vigilance and “training in righteousness!”
    • Not perfection, simply doing what’s right.

We have another compelling reason to lock shields with other like-minded men. Despite what we see in movies and on TV, men don’t survive war alone…they survive and thrive within a team…within a TRIBE.
