COT:

I regret doing some things in my life but right now, I regret not doing some things as well. You know that I had a friend from church, Jeff, that died from cancer a few weeks ago. His funeral was Sunday. I regret not knowing him better. Sure, we talked on occasion and texted quite a bit at times but I kept saying we’ll get together when you get to feeling better. We had plans a couple of months ago but he was exhausted and slept through the time we were going to get together. He was sick, hurting and struggled with sleep so I told him he needed that sleep and to not be sorry about it and they we’d schedule another time to get together…but he got sicker and died.

Part of me thought he’d get better and we’d be going to baseball games together in the future. Part of me was scared because I didn’t know what to say to him when we talked. I was so pissed that his cancer kept coming back and he kept getting turned down for clinical trials. He was so positive and while he wanted to live, he was OK dying because he knew where he was going. He was strong and I regret not learning more from him when I could have.

Regret is sorrow or remorse over something that has happened or that we have done. Regret can also be a sense of disappointment over what has not happened, such as regretting wasted years. To be human is to have regrets because making mistakes is a universal experience.

I’m certain if I went around this circle that each of you could name at least one regret.

Here are some interesting quotes that I found…

“The biggest regret of your life won’t be what you did, it’ll be what you didn’t do.” – Lee Brice
“Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.” – Victoria Holt
“Live life to the fullest.”
“Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.”

Peter is one biblical example of someone who deeply regretted a decision. Although Peter was committed to Jesus, his fear made him run away when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus, and he later denied his Lord. His actions did not come from a desire to sin, but from impulse, spiritual immaturity, and fear. He deeply regretted his actions and was forgiven.

I want to challenge you to not have regrets. If you need to make a call or ask forgiveness or change your ways or eat better or exercise more or read more scripture or pray more or stop stressing about everything, etc…do it today…or stop doing whatever it is today. We’ll never be perfect but we can all be the best version of ourselves so please push and encourage me and I’ll do the same to you.

COT:
I have a question for us to ponder this morning. Do you often find yourself arguing with others? Do you do so at work, at home? Why do we like to argue so much? It has been pointed out to me by my wife that I tend to argue a lot with my son in particular. It was also pointed out to me that I tend to want to prove that I am right on a matter even if it takes going out of my way to do so. He still argues with me anyway. This is arrogant of both of us. Is arrogance really that bad? Take a look at Romans 1

‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:28‭-‬31‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[28] And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, [30] slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, [31] without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;”

Arrogance is among a list of a lot of evil things, including murder and haters of God, that are unacceptable to God.

Proverbs 16:5 uses strong language against it as well.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:5‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[5] Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.”

Thinking too highly of our own opinions is sinful. It is absolutely essential that we hold firm when it comes to the truth of scripture. However, sometimes we need to set aside our opinions for the sake of unity. I will leave you with this scripture.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:10‭-‬18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
“[10] Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; [11] not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; [12] rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, [13] contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. [14] Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. [16] Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. [17] Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. [18] If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.”

COT: All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Isaiah 66:2 ESV

– F3 focus on leadership
– But not just to lead or be great
– But to do Great things for God
– To fail at that: Think of yourself more highly than you ought
Read King Uzziah. Great for God, but “he was strong, he grew proud, to his destruction.”
– To be useful for God, have a humble heart
– Don’t think less of yourself, think of yourself less; think of others more.
– Be a great Friend: Be a 2AM friend. Be a better friend and get more of them as we age.
