I have been thinking quite a bit about being a good steward of what God has provided.  God owns everything – (Psalm 24:1-2).  The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who are in it.  Accept what you have – (1 Timothy 6:7-8) Basically this verse says you come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing.  Seek first His Kingdom, and submit your requests to Him – (Matthew 6:33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Guys, realize that we are here to simply manage what is already His.  We need to seek out his kingdom, his righteousness and aim to use what he has blessed us with for His glory rather than our own.

“Spiritual warfare is not fighting darkness to restore wholeness.  It is fighting darkness to release virtue.” Larry Crabb

“Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom. 12:21

Understanding that our world is marked conflict and struggle impacts our understanding and experience of the world.  For example:

  • When we find ourselves experiencing hard times we don’t need to be blindsided…it is normal. This world isn’t as it should be.
  • The good that is in the world is worth fighting for!
    • The love of a spouse
    • The love of our kids
    • The innocence of children
    • Relief and of the oppressed
    • The preservation of what is good, right and lovely.
  • The importance of vigilance and “training in righteousness!”
    • Not perfection, simply doing what’s right.

We have another compelling reason to lock shields with other like-minded men. Despite what we see in movies and on TV, men don’t survive war alone…they survive and thrive within a team…within a TRIBE.

HIMs
We talk often of being a man of impact (HIM) at F3. Something that has been helpful toward this end for YHC is a definition of manhood I learned over a decade ago.  Definition of Manhood – Reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously and expect a greater reward.  HIMs impact their world, they are men who move toward chaos and conflict and bring positive change.  To do this we must distinguish between interest and commitment.  We can show interest in something, but never act.  Commitment requires action, and often sacrifice.  I speak with a lot of guys who are interested in coming to F3, but when 5:00am rolls around they are more committed to sleep.  HIMs aren’t just interested in doing the right thing, they are committed to it.

This morning, the men in the COT have already won a victory…they committed to being there with their brothers in the gloom and came through.  That’s what being a HIM is all about…showing up.

Take stock of your world.  Is there an area where you need to move from interest to commitment?  Take the momentum of the morning and roll it over into home and work.  Leave a mark!

MOLESKIN
The men of WFP know how to show up and work hard!  We hit the ground running and didn’t let up until we started numbering off.  TClaps to everyone who came out to get better!

One PAX at a time in a wave like motion- Each PAX counts off aloud as they drop and hold 1,2,3, etc around the circle until finished.  Drop straightened legs to 10 degrees and hold until a full revolution has been made (as the second hands would move around a clock) then return to 90 degrees and repeat until smoked!

BOM
Complacency – Sometimes when we get in a routine we can find ourselves being complacent or taking things for granted.  It required almost maximum daily effort to keep growing physically, spiritually, and in relationships. Lately I feel like I have found myself be complacent as a parent.   I have a plan for my physical growth(F3), a plan for my spiritual growth (quite times), a plan for my marriage growth (date night etc.), and a plan a t work.  I have realized that I spend lots of time with my kids but they are going to be gone soon and there is so much I want to share with them.  I have realized I need to develop a plan and be intentional with my kids. My challenge to you is to look at your life this week and seek out ways that you can be less complacent and more intentional.
