CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” – Matthew 23:27‭-‬28 NASB1995

This is just one of many things that the Pharisees were doing that Jesus teaches against. How often do we do the same things? We are to always be true and never try to act righteous just when we are seen by men. God is always watching! It is He who we should be pleasing. We are to be the same person in all aspects of our lives. We can’t be a truly godly man and be ungodly every where but Church at the same time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Diligently”: adverb.

  1. in a way that is careful and uses a lot of effort.
  2. With conscientious and persistent effort or attention.

In Scripture, we are commanded to diligently teach our children about God and His Word.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children.”

I’ll suggest that the vast majority of the way we “teach” our children is not with words, but through our modeling.  What you think, say, and do will make a profound impression on what your sons and daughters will think, say, and do as they grow into maturity.

Does that mean we put on an act for them?  No. “Your kids learn how to love God by watching how you love God. While you are called to disciple your kids, the call is not to give them a fictitiously polished version of yourself.” (Hat tip to Matt Chandler).  But as HIMs, we must Get Right and put persistent effort or attention toward Living Right and Leading Right.  

Two chapters before the commandment to teach our children diligently, we are commanded to diligently…take care of our own souls.

Deuteronomy 4:9 “Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children’s children.”

– “It has been said that as goes the family, so goes the world. It can also be said that as goes the father, so goes the family.” Voddie T. Baucham Jr., Family Shepherds: Calling and Equipping Men to Lead Their Homes

“A man cannot give away what he himself does not possess” (Q Source 2.4, Positive Habit Transfer).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

IPC is fun but it comes with risks. One is the temptation to compare ourselves critically against our peers.

Modern psychology likes to talk about two paradigms of “growth” and “fixed” mindset. A fixed mindset is associated with the idea that my abilities are inherent and fixed. A growth mindset is associated with ability development.

A fixed mindset is promoted when we focus on how we compare with our peers.
A growth mindset is promoted when we focus on how we have changed over time.

It isn’t helpful to compare ourselves against peers because it leaves many more things outside our control. The other may be in a period of major growth or worse, we might trick ourselves into self-satisfaction because the man next to us in struggling.

It is better to compare ourselves against a standard and evaluate our growth over time. In fitness, challenges like IPC can be a great benchmark, or perhaps better yet are the benchmark fitness tests we have been repeating across time.
In our person and character, the best standard for comparison is Jesus. He is constant and everlasting, every aspect of his person is admirable and worthy of imitation, and our eyes will always be pointed up at the higher goal.
MOLESKIN:
Great beginning to the IPC season. Definitely need to start earlier for the next four rounds. There were 200 merkins plus your burpees (36 for me) if you are tracking the challenge.
