COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today is Yom Kippur- The Day of Atonement.

Recap of the significance of this day and the ritual animal sacrifices that went with it.  Yet Christ’s blood offers cleansing far greater than the blood of any animal ever could.

“Under the old system, the high priest brought the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, and the bodies of the animals were burned outside the camp. So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.”

Hebrews 13:11‭-‬14

MOLESKIN:

To be a leader like Jesus, we must let love motivate all we do. We must move toward need, not comfort. We must be willing to go “outside the camp” with Him even if it means suffering and disgrace. We must make things right with others and with God while we still have the chance.

Whatever it is you’re seeking won’t come in the form you’re expecting.

  • Haruki Murakami

I think we often think we know what is best for our lives. As a Christian, what the Bible teaches us is that God knows what is best for our lives. In the book of Jeremiah, the Israelites are suffering because of their disobedience and god reminds them of this through Jeremiah.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-13‬ ‭

Let’s remember to seek God because his plan is always better then our own.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.”

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

1 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV

MOLESKIN:

Excerpt from Disciplines of a Godly Man – R. Kent Hughes

PAUL ON DISCIPLINE

The word “train” comes from the word gumnos, which means “naked” and is the word from which we derive our English word gymnasium. In traditional Greek athletic contests, the participants competed without clothing, so as not to be encumbered. Therefore, the word”train” originally carried the literal meaning, “to exercise naked.”  By New Testament times it referred to exercise and training in general. But even then it was, and is, a word with the smell of the gym in it – the sweat of a good workout. “Gymnasticize (exercise, work out, train) yourself for the purpose of godliness” conveys the feel of what Paul is saying.

SPIRITUAL SWEAT

In a word, he is calling for some spiritual sweat! Just as the athletes discarded everything and competed gumnos – free from everything that could possibly burden them – so we must get rid of every encumbrance, every association, habit, and tendency which impedes godliness. If we are to excel, we must strip ourselves to a lean, spiritual nakedness. The writer of Hebrews explains it like this: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1). Men, we will never get anywhere spiritually without a conscious divestment of the things that are holding us back. What things are weighing you down? The call to discipline demands that you throw it off. Are you man enough?
