Does your marriage serve as a witness for Christ?  How do you treat your wife…do you treat her as a daughter of God, just like you want to be treated as a son of God?  When other people look at your relationship with your wife do they see a picture of the gospel?

I recently watched a video series that revolved around these questions and it really impacted me.  The take home point was that I do indeed need to be looking at my marriage in light of eternity.  Instead of focusing on the benefits or frustrations I personally receive from my marriage, I need to put the focus on Christ.  Once I do that I become stronger and more purposeful in everything I do.  I no longer focus on how my wife has frustrated me, or made me mad, or how she doesn’t live up to stereotypical expectations.  Rather, I begin to view her as my partner for sharing the gospel.  Marriage is a perfect union that is a picture of how Christ loved the church and we should be using our marriages to bring glory to Him.

Incremental Growth

The Scene: perfect conditions – 55 degrees, clear

The Thang:

5:30 COP – 7 min

  • Baby arm circles X 10 (forward/backward)
  • Cherry Picker
  • Merkin
  • Goofball
  • Jog 2 parking lot laps

Line up in parking lot Burpee Dans

Beginning at the curb, perform 4 lunges then 4 burpees, rinse and repeat across parking lot, run back to curb. Then 4 lunges and 3 burpees. Rinse and repeat (then 2 burpees, then 1 burpee). Plank or BBS until group finishes.

Mosey to lower parking lot – find a battle buddy

One man runs the length of the parking lot, performs 5 Merkins, then runs back while partner does Merkins (100), then BBS (200), then jump squats (100). Trade each lap until the total number is completed.

Next exercise:

Group splits: Half begin Bearpees (10 bear crawls followed by 1 Burpee), while the other half start Bernie Sanders on the hill. Bernie Sanders group relieves Bearpee group. Endless until 6:15am.

INCREMENTAL GROWTH

Growth is hard to see. We measure growth. When an acorn is crushed by a 1,000 lb. tombstone, who wins? It’s a no brainer. The acorn always wins. God waters it, and slow growth appears. Let’s all work toward incremental growth in our spiritual life– the same way we are working toward growing in fitness and strength.
