CIRCLE OF TRUST:
BOM:  Showed a quick clip of Penn Jillette (an Atheist) expressing his views on proselytization. His view: if you truly believe something to be true (i.e. heaven/hell, Jesus is the only way to heaven) and don’t share your faith about that item then you are in fact hating your fellow man. He goes on to say that if he truly believes a bus is about to hit someone, then he is eventually going to help that person get out of the way. He says Christians who don’t proselytize are the equivalent of letting that same person get run over by the bus. Honestly, he’s right. This video hits close to home because it is true of many Christians. My challenge to the PAX was to take time to reflect on this. Who do you share your faith with? Do you take your DRP when it comes to sharing your faith and having tough conversations?

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Doing more than what’s required.

One of the things that my wife and her father has taught me is to do things better than needed. It use to drive me crazy that they would be so intense on perfection and doing things exactly right or better than what was asked of them. My thought process was just get it done, get it done right, but just get it done and do it quick.

She has taught me to take my time at things when I can and really look at details and how it can be done the best way not just “done”.

Challenge: the next thing you are tasked to do, do it one to two steps better.

BOM
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The next few versus after this contain a list of products of the desires of the flesh. The things the tender stand out to us for things such as “sorcery” or “orgies.” Most of us do not participate in things like that and so it’s easy to glass of the rest of the list. However, “jealousy” and “fits of anger” should really be the ones that stand out to us on a list like this. Everyone of us has her own tendencies, but usually we know that we are satisfying the desires of the flesh when we do these things.

I don’t know exactly what completely walking by Spirit looks like, but I know where it starts. It starts with asking for the Spirit’s help in these situations and in life in general. Also, looking around at the men with whom we are in community and reflecting ourselves against them can be significantly helpful. Most frequently we are all dealing with the same issues and can learn from each other and hold ourselves to a standard together.

The men that came out today pushed themselves hard, but in so doing they also set an example for the man dragging behind them. This is no different in the spiritual life, although sometimes the roles are reversed.

Moleskin
This is a brutal workout, but the men attacked it was bigger and finished faster than expected. They were moans and groans with the double down, but the men rose to the challenge and push themselves hard. I am usually the last guy finishing in these long running workouts, and the same was true today…but the men made me proud to be a Q today!
