Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!  Being a father is one of the most important roles you play in life.  Doing it well is worth every once of energy that you can muster!  This Father’s Day weekend, I encourage you to spend some time praying and reflecting on your role as a father – protector, provider, encourager, discipliner, teacher, etc.  Take pride in the things that you are doing well – and commit yourself to improving the areas that you are not doing well.  Here are three things from scripture that you can mediate on;

  1.  Do your best to live your life with honor. When you screw up, own your mistakes and recommit yourself to be a better man.

Proverbs 20:7 “The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him.”

2. As fathers, your words have immense power over your children. Use them with care.

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue”

Proverbs 15:4 “Gentle words bring life and health…”

Proverbs 16:24 “Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy for the body”

Proverbs 18:4 “A person’s words can be life-giving water…”

Colossians 3:21 “Fathers, do not discourage your children, so that they will not lose heart.”

Ephesians 6:4 says, “Fathers, don’t make your children bitter about life. Instead, bring them up in Christian discipline and instruction.”

3. If you are a believer, teach your children about God and the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is nothing more important that you could be teaching them.  If you spend hours each week showing them how to kick a soccer ball, and 30 seconds at night praying with them – you’re missing the point.

Proverbs 22:6 “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it”.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up….”

Rocky Balboa moment at the Project

THE SCENE: A little cooler.  Perfect!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
15 SSH, 15 mountain climbers, 10 tempo squats, 10 windmill
THA-THANG:
Mosey to the AO’s biggest hill (i.e. K2/5 hill, The Ridge, etc…it goes by many names at this point).  Perform a pyramid with merkins at the bottom and squats at the top:  10, 20, 30, 20, 10 reps.

Covering some ground this morning we moseyed over to the track at the high school.  We got the whole body covered at the track.  We performed the following exercises at the 100 meter marks and added a station up the steps on the west side of the school (definitely feeling some Rocky Balboa at the top!).

  • 10 diamond merkins
  • 20 narrow squats
  • 15, 4-ct Freddie Mercury

We moseyed back to the flag and got a little Mary in.

Matthew 7:13-14 – “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.  For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

We can be “all-in” with our faith, but if we have errors in our convictions, we can be one of the many mentioned above.  Paul, before he met Christ on the road to Damascus, was zealous for the Lord.  However, he was persecuting Christians!  Jesus corrected Paul and he became one of the biggest influencers for the Church.  Consider the things you hear about God and the Bible and study them to make sure they are true.  Always seek the truth!

Planning in the works for upcoming CSAUPs.  Look for announcements about 2nd F lunches in Oak Ridge!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We are in the season of Pentecost. As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to help us carry on the mission. On the original day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit enabled Christians to communicate to people of many different languages. That lead to the follow word from Peter:
“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for plpyour children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38-41‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/59/act.2.38-41.esv
As Christians today, we need to maintain an awareness of what work the Holy Spirit has for us to do. Empowered by the knowledge provided in the Bible, carry on God’s plan in the lives of the people around you.

Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

John 15:12-3 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

MOLESKIN:

My wife just celebrated her 30th high school reunion and mine is this weekend in Texas.  It’s made us think about our long friendships with people but also think about our more recent friends that are so important to us.  For me, I know the HIMs I’ve met in F3 would do just about anything for me just like I would for them.  Friendships are important and can take a lot of work and effort but they are important so let’s all try to be better friends and be intentional with our relationships with old friends and new ones!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

I’m out for a week. Commission has the JUCO flag.

Please remember to find a date to Q in June!
