COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I heard a story of a guy recently who was watching his car being stolen on a cold morning when he had left it running outside to warm up. He noticed the car being driven away through a window and out of instinct chased the guy down. The thief, being cold and disoriented, couldn’t put the car in park and eventually stopped the car but didn’t run away. The owner of the car after regaining possession of the vehicle saw the thief and rather than anger had felt pity for him. He was poor, homeless, delirious, cold and unable to think clearly. The story ended with with the car owner driving the thief to a shelter where he could get his needs met.

It took a week of this stewing inside my mind to realize how much this mirrored the Christmas story. God, rather than anger, had mercy, even when we were yet his enemy. Also, I consider the many times I look at people in anger instead of compassion.  Jesus said, “forgive them for they know not what they do.” Do I consider people as those who are suffering and lost?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One good thing about Qing yesterday and having no repeat PAX today….I can recycle the BOM!  It’s still applicable!

We talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.

No suprise, with it being January 1st we talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As I read through the Bible I am certain that the majority of men God used throughout history didn’t fully understand their circumstances or God’s plan at the time.  Some did.  I think Paul did, and Abraham, and Joseph, and probably King David.  Outside of a select few, the majority of “big names” in the Bible were simply faithful to God’s teachings and He used that faithfulness in a mighty way.  12/31 is a day we all tend to reflect back on the previous year.  What went right, what went wrong, are we where we thought we’d be in our career, lessons learned, etc, etc…  As you recall the past 12 months, remember that God’s plan to bring glory to himself has not faltered.  Regardless of the circumstances 2018 brought into your life, our job as Christian men is to be obedient to God’s word and his commands.  When we do this, we are doing the same thing that countless heroes of the faith have done before us….we are surrendering ourselves to Christ’s will and letting him take control.
