Pride is often the route cause of conflict and it is important to be aware of it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve got some friends I’m very close to, that are suffering right now. A lot of it’s self inflicted (addiction, alcohol, etc…) but they’ve reached out recently.

How do you handle that?

I’m trying to be a HIM a spiritual gangster. Like you guys! I pray for them multiple times a day. I try to get them involved with F3 (where they live). I ask them to serve food at a rescue ministry. I try to get them to count blessings and not your mistakes.

They have a lot going on for them, super talented, but don’t feel like it right now.

You might feel that way too. It’s OK. Know you are loved . I love you. More importantly God loves you.

Booster recently posted, “You can sit with me at church…”

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
“and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

2Tim 4:3-5
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of “influencers” self-proclaimed experts, and other current events that seek to take our eyes off of sound doctrine, stay focused on God’s Word and truly test what you hear in the media, online, or at the water cooler to make sure it lines completely up to the Word of God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

If What If, by Tony and Daniel Myles.

Sometime in the near future your family will all need to be somewhere at a certain time.  It will require nothing short of pure hustle as you all get ready to leave, because while everyone seems to be moving in that direction, they will also get distracted.  This will become a moment of glory for someone who is willing to step up and rally everyone else to “move it”

God invited Abram into His revolution with a command to move his family to a new land along with a promise that all nations would be blessed through them.  Keep in mind that in Abram’s era, people worshiped idols they’d made.  So, having the true God speaking to him was a new thing.  In response to God, the Bible says, “Abram went” (v.4). Abram without hesitation chose rapid obedience to God instead of arguing back.  Although Abram later had moments where his trust in the Lord dipped, this was a great moment we can celebrate and learn from.

You and your family have that same opportunity to respond with rapid obedience to whatever God asks you to do. Don’t “get around to it later” or think that someone else will do it for you.  Growth is all about you purposefully moving beyond what’s familiar and into the unknown.

Choose to be courageous by stepping into these life-changing moments without a guarantee of how everything will turn out.  God’s revolution is more about putting our faith in Him than in circumstances anyway.  Just as He moved you in one way in the past, let Him keep moving you in other ways.  By moving we become a movement….so move it.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA – 18 men between Rush and the Bootcamp

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Acts 1:8 – “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Matthew 28:19 – “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”

John 20:21 – “Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”

2 Corinthians 5:20 – “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.”

Throughout the Bible, we are called to share the good news to the ends of the Earth.  I haven’t done that.  Sure, I’ve given my life to Christ, I’m a believer, I’ve chosen to serve in non-profits, I’ve attended church forever, I volunteer and I’ve even invited people to church but I now realize I haven’t done enough.  If I died today, I’d consider myself a failure in evangelizing to non-believers or those that aren’t on fire for God.  We all know lots of people that say they’re Christian and not bad people but they’re not on fire for God.

I can do more.  I have to do more if I’m going to follow the word to be a witness and make disciples.

I just finished a study series about evangelism and the speaker shared some advice…he said,

  • You’re not going to your kid’s ballgame…you’re going to share the good news and when you’re there, watch the ballgame
  • You’re not going to the grocery store…you’re going to disciple to others and when you’re doing that, go ahead and get groceries

The presenter also encouraged us to make lists of concentric circles of people that we need to intentionally visit with to learn more about their faith journey.  For example, one circle should be our family, another our friends, another our coworkers.  He challenged us…ME…to be intentional and seek opportunities to share.

Think about that…if 100% of what you did was for Christ how would that change your life or your actions or laying on the horn when someone cuts you off or won’t go.  This is pretty deep and I’ve doing a lot of soul-searching and I’m proud of how I live and serve most of the time but I’m not “all in” all of the time…I’m not actively seeking out non-believers or fair-weather Christians like I need to be.

So, I’m 50 years old and a little pissed off at myself for not listening to what I’ve heard through the years.  I’m a bit ticked off that I didn’t hear someone at 25 or 35 tell me to get my head out of my “you know what” and start living an abundant life by proudly sharing my faith with other.  I’m challenging you to not be like me and to start spreading the good news today and don’t wait until you’re an old man like me.
