CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke from Matthew 14.  The story of Jesus walking on water.  Prior to walking on water, Jesus told the disciples to get into a boat and go out on the sea.  Later on, while they were on the water a storm came up and they were afraid, then Jesus walked out to the boat and calmed the storm.   This mornings point was that the disciples did exactly as Jesus told them to do, yet they still encountered a storm.  Life is this way – Jesus told us the Christian life would be difficult.  Do not believe the lie that says storms only arise in your life because you are outside of the will of God.  Quite the contrary, storms are often the mark of a Christian following God’s commands.

Welcome Spotter – new FNG!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Capability Judgement Conviction – Please watch how you are prone to be judgmental not only of your wives looks but also of her accomplishments and capabilities. You might be aware of your tendency to judge visually but not only should you reject this attitude of the heart but also the judgmental attitude of their accomplishments.  Do not fall prey to the enemies (and worlds) comparison games – It is the way of death.  Choose life in the way of forgiveness, grace, and love.

Summerized all to well by Bartmans joke:

A man comes home and says to his wife when he comes home from work – “I’ve been at work all day and come home and the house is a mess and the laundry is not done – What have you been doing all day?” – To which she replies, “You’ve been at work all day and yet we’re still not rich – What have you been doing all day?”

MOLESKIN:
Apologies to FNG Spotter for a very steep ramp up to the burpee learning curve.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Is your Christian walk a cruise ship or a war ship?   It is so easy to slip into complacency and comfort as a Christian in America.  The Bible continually tells us we are at war with the evil one – our lives should reflect this.  On a cruise ship the captain is the head entertainer, on a war ship the captain leads us into battle.  On a cruise ship the crew is there to meet your needs, on a war ship you are expected to hold up your brothers up and hold them accountable.  A cruise ship docks when the war begins, a war ship sails headlong into battle.  As men we should all have a warship mentality – Christ promised us this life would be tough if we chose to follow him.  I pray that you find your strength in Christ as you put on Gods armor and go headlong into battle each day.
