CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The Values and Conscience of a Leader

How are we to respond to others who hold values different from our own? That’s the issue of Romans 14. Paul speaks in this passage not of eternal issues or absolute truths, but about “gray areas”—subjects that are questionable and maybe even fuzzy. Christians can differ on these issues and still be part of the same organization. On these issues, no scripture declares an unequivocal right or wrong. Note Paul’s counsel for situations like this:

Be open, not condescending (vv. 1–3).

Remember that everyone answers to the Lord, not to you (v. 4).

Cling to your own convictions (v. 5).

Whatever your values, your motive should be to please God (vv. 6–9).

You are ultimately accountable to the Lord (vv. 10–12).

Do not cause anyone to stumble (v. 13).

Don’t let others impose their values on you, and vice versa (v. 14).

Make love your highest aim (v. 15).

Major on the majors and minor on the minors (vv. 16–18).

Pursue peace and adding value to people (v. 19).

Don’t destroy anyone by imposing your values on them (vv. 20–22).

Anything is wrong that is not done out of personal faith (v. 23).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Be humble with your giving and your prayer. Do not use the good things you do to brag, but use that as motivation to do more.

In Matthew 6 –

Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then you Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 7:7 – Ask, and it will be given. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As YHC have done F3 for 2 years now, I got into MY COMFORT zone with the Knoxville AOs. When Alcoa started, I thought it was great but selfishly wanted to stay at the AOs I was used to attending. I was open minded but still selfish about Alcoa started and it was out of my comfort zone because I did not know anyone except 1 or 2 guys. I cant tell you how glad I am for getting out of my comfort zone and getting to know the men of the Bombshelter. More or less, its a great example of getting out of your comfort zone. In reality to grow inside and out, we need to be out of our COMFORT ZONE most of the time. Everybody in F3 rocks and honored to be a part of F3! AYE
MOLESKIN:
Well, by asking Hammy to lead us in an exercise, Hammy got out of his comfort zone and is now ready to Q!!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Largest gathering of HIMs in the Knoxville area this morning: 10 strong!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Not so wordy this morning to avoid becoming a sweatcicle.  As we start this year, remember Paul’s words in Philippians 3:13: “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”  We all want to forget the bad parts of the past, but Paul here is not talking about that.  He just got done listing all of his own accomplishments done in the flesh, and how they are not of worth.  Don’t rest on things you’ve done.  Forget that past as well, and press forward for His calling!
MOLESKIN:
Coldest day of the year was no problem for these guys.  Killed it hard.  Icicles were forming on beards from breath condensation, but everyone was sweating by the end.
