Having a goal and working hard for it.
In the beginning of this workout all of us had a goal of finishing. We worked hard, we sweat, we even got a little bit dirty. Such is life. We are going to have to work hard, we are going to have to sweat during tough times, we are going to have crap covering us from head to toe at times. We may want to give up, we may want to get mad, we may want to yell at God. But, we need to stay strong and we need to know what is waiting for us at the end. Today it’s a nice feeling of accomplishment, in life, it’s eternity in heaven with God.

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST / BOM
Part of our growth is spiritual.  One observation YHC has made recently is that most men seem restrained and bored on Sunday mornings at church.  Rather than their faith igniting them, it seems to be hindering them from being who they are.  This is the exact opposite of God’s intent for us as men.  Our faith is not meant to fence us in, but fuel us for a life of impact and significance!  My faith informs me that there are no idle moments, everything has eternal significance.  Even the most mundane experiences, when viewed though faith have potential to be life-changing.  It’s about perspective.  It’s about seeing our lives as more than a quest for self-comfort and self-satisfaction.  It’s about seeing life as Jesus did…an adventure where we are part of something greater than ourselves.  We are meant to be life-givers, servant-leaders…HIMs!

Choose today to view your faith from the lens of what you give rather than receive.

MOLESKIN
It was a beautiful, clear, cool Monday morning and the PAX were out in force!  No mosey today, all business.  The men busted it for a solid 45 minutes and it was a great start to the week.  We also had a guest, cameraman from WVLT news was on site to get some video for a story they will be doing later this week.  No Sad Clown Is Safe!!!

Q-citement

I still get it it too. I was up at 3:05 this morning calling out “the next exercise is” in my head, hoping this Q today went well. But it happens all the time and I was having a real hard time getting back to sleep.

Then I prayed a simple prayer, “Lord help me get some rest so I can lead will this morning. Be with me as I got to F3, and be present in that AO with us.” After that I felt relaxed and went back to sleep.

What I found curious this morning is how easy it is to take God the big things sometimes, job, house, kids, but how we forget to take him the small things.

Have you ever been in a really really dark room with no light? And then when you see the tiniest of tiny specks of light how it seems so bright? That’s God in our world. And when we take stuff to Him he makes the whole room light up like the sun.  But we should constantly take stuff to Him, big and small, so that the room is always light and we can see.

Lastly, many of you don’t know but I have been trying to put into my life the concept that, I am 3rd. God first, others second, and myself 3rd. I encourage you to do the same, and I encourage you to go out into this world and share with others about that tiny speck of light in the darkness, and how He can save our soul.

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.
