“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”
1 Corinthians 16:13 NLT

If someone ask you about your faith, it’s easy to answer that you’re a Christian, but when they ask you why, it can prove to be more difficult.

As men, we need to be ready! Stay ready!

God gave his only Son to die for our sins and save me, you, us…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Have you guys ever thought about the term climbing the ladder at work?  Inherently, you always step on someone (i.e., the rung or step on the ladder) to go up. In the same way, you affect someone else by taking a promotion or trying to climb your way up

How about a different analogy…you may not often think about the way in which flowers and other shrubs grow, but they take nutrients from the soil in order to blossom and really flourish.  Well… those mechanics of feeding on the nutrients take away those nutrients from other plants, bushes and flowers.

So be a flower, but not a big one. Also be a rung on the ladder because those are a necessity to the ladders overall structural integrity.

Consider that standing at the top can be unstable and potentially unsafe.

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. – Galatians 6:10 NIV

Welcome to @incoming!  He was going to be Hammock but that was taken.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Acts 3:19-20 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. that times of refressingh may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus

At conversion, repentance is a turn from a way that says I can do it on my own.
I’m turning to Jesus, not trusting in my ability to earn heaven, but accepting it from Him.
That’s likely a very familiar message. Vitally important
but it is not a 1 time event. We must grow in our ability to repent.
As we get older we loose elasticity in our muscles, our legs need more stretching.
Especially if we are growing stronger in other areas.
We need to stretch more and more and repentance is that stretch.
Our brains lose elasticity too, but by God’s grace He makes old things new again.
We can grow in our grace, soften, love deeper, forgive faster, be more humble while greater.
Invite Christ into every aspect of yoru life. Refreshing comes from the presence of the Lord.
It is a call to action. I was one way, now I’m different.
It is a change. Change is hard, but consider what God wants to change in you.
I was selfish/lazy/consumed by work/obsessed with fitness/obsessed with hobbies/only focused on my world.
There is a a beautiful story on the other side of “but now I’m different.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I heard a passage on Sunday and then again on Monday when Kick Flip referenced it at Shamrock…
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” (1 John 2:15-17)

God made this beautiful world and all of the good things in it, but the “from the world” John talks about in verse 16 is a reference to our hearts and the importance we place on those things and stuff.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven….For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” John was talking about our hearts. Our treasure.

Another question that got me recently was “If someone were to ask your children what does your father love the most, or think the most about?” What would they say??

Life is fleeting. Think about the time you have left here and where you are investing it. Is it God honoring? Is it eternal or does it collect dust? Make your treasure something that matters!
