COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared again the story of GK Chesterton responding to the London Times’ article “What is wrong with the world today” by writing “Dear Sirs, I am.” Not only does this show a tremendous amount of humility and self awareness, but it also demonstrates what it looks like to live out Jesus’ command to worry more about the plank in our own eyes than the speck in our neighbors’. It’s also really important that whenever we approach any sort of situation or confrontation, even when we are confident we are in the right, we still have our own flaws and tend to bring our own sin to the table. Practicing this level of humility and self awareness will help us to continue to be High Impact Men.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“So how can you spot a wise person?  He is the meek/gentle one.  The meek person submits to God’s Word and lives for God’s glory.  Meekness is not weakness!  The meek person may well be a very strong individual, but he is humble and welcoming, under control, operating with a genuine sensitivity to the Lord.” – Christ-Centered Conflict Resolution by Tony Merida.
