CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes life hands you what seems like a bad set of circumstances, but you must not get down and frustrated. Sometimes this bad situation is actually something good. A friend of mine received what was seemingly bad news, but now (not for sure) it seems like what was previously bad conditions are actually something better. So, roll with the punches life throws you filthy animals.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

As I’ve observed those around me lately – specifically male Christians – I have noticed a lot of passivity.  There is an old adage that goes something like this:  “Share the love of Jesus everywhere you go, and if necessary, use words”.  I understand the point this is trying to make, and we should be living in a way that others take notice.  However as Christian men, we should also be taking a stand for Christ – which means using words, debating/disagreeing when necessary.  I’m not suggesting we go around starting arguments, but we should definitely reject the passive approach and be steadfast in how we represent ourselves.  So often the Christian faith is seen as curling up in Jesus’ lap and getting coddled.  Yes, Jesus does offer rest to the weary and is a place of refuge when needed, but the example that Jesus set while on this earth was not that of someone in the fetal position…he was bold in his words, strong in his position, confident.  As men, I pray we are attuned to God’s word and are actively looking for opportunities to be bold for him.

Focused on one leadership trait we can learn from Christ’s example: Integrity.  Maintain it. Leaders who lose it, lose the trust of those being led. Constantly study your heart and compare actions to God’s instruction and Christ’s example.  A great resource from pastor John Piper: desiringgod.org
MOLESKIN:
Kudos to Spotter for making the Pre-Ruck.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

In this passage Paul talks about becoming all things to all people in order to share the gospel.  I think this is pertinent today.  The message of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection never changes – we should never water this down or sanitize it.  Lost people need to hear the truth.  We do, however, need to communicate with people in a way that they understand this message.  The next time you feel led to share Christ with someone, consider who you are talking to.  Are they older than you?  Younger?  Do they have the same interests as you?  What religious background do they come from?   Consider all of these things to help you communicate as clearly as possible so that they will comprehend what you are telling them.

MOLESKIN:
I almost fartsacked this morning.  I woke up at 5:12.  Evidently I hit snooze on my phone alarm and fell back asleep with it in my hand….then when the snooze alarm went off I dropped the phone, which woke me up.  Nothing like waking up late on a day when you’re on Q!
