Message
This is a quote from the theologian, Rebecca Manley Pippert, about Jesus Christ:

“What do you do with a man who is supposed to be the holiest man who has ever lived and yet goes around talking with prostitutes and hugging lepers? What do you do with a man who not only mingles with the most unsavory people but actually seems to enjoy them? The religious accused him of being a drunkard, a glutton and having tacky taste in friends. It is a profound irony that the Son of God visited this planet and one of the chief complaints against him was that he was not religious enough.”

Gents, think about that the next time you judge someone else. Also, think about that the next time you feel like you are not good enough for God. God is here for us, even in the Fake Gloom, even through our mumble chatter, even at our Board Meetings. And you know what? He probably enjoys us. This holiest of holies is on our side. So, let’s feel good about that and let it give us the energy to go about our days working to be true HIMs.

COT

There’s a lot of buzz about this game tonight, when Tennessee takes on Oklahoma. As I was looking up some of the stories and quotes and info around tonight, there are a couple that really popped out at me.

Josh Huepel’s return to Oklahoma
– He won a national championship as a Heisman Trophy runner up QB for Oklahoma
– Later coached there as the OC and was then fired
– This reminds me of another story where someone was fired, but it had a different ending as well
– In Genesis 37 we see a gifted young man get fired — from his own family.
– Joseph’s brothers essentially fired him, throwing him into a pit and then eventually selling him.
– But then — how does the story come back around?
– “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
– ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Even though you may go through experiences of “being fired” or “cancelled” as the current language would say, it’s not the end of the story.

Eric Cain (covers the Vols for volsquest)
– You can only play the team in front of you.
– Referring to TN destroying Kent State but the fact that it was Kent State

COT
>From The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis
Check out the passage I read from the book in this message thread for context.

Mini-Word built inside the Word — from the last line that I read: “The Enemy (God) wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct.”
– It’s an election year — tensions are high and you don’t have to look far to see how deep the division and emotionally charged rhetoric goes.
– Even though we are united in Christ (if you are a Christian) or united under the banner of F3, we are still distinct beings with unique thoughts, opinions, and world-views. This is good, btw.
– That being said — F3 is not the place to blast your political views out there in a way that isolates or excludes others. That’s anti-F3 mission. Respectful conversations? 100%. During the workout, let’s be about the workout and be about challenging and encouraging each other – not our political views. After all, F3 Core Principle #2 is that F3 is open to all men.
– Dark Helmet said it best when asked the question “What is F3’s position on this?” Relating to something political, viewpoint, etc.
– We don’t have a position as F3. The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
– If I can find this video/audio clip or message from him I will share it.

The part in there that really stands out for me is the line “He wants servants who can finally become sons.”

– John 10:10 — A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.

– Galatians 5:1 — For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
– The word “again” stands out to me and causes my focus to shift to the last part of Romans 7 and beginning of Romans 8

– MSG (22) Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better me every time. (23) It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I lease expect it, they take charge. (24) I’ve tried everything and nothing helps. I’m at the end of my rope, Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn’t that the real question? (25) The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.

– Romans 8:1 — Therefore, (meaning because of everything I just stated) there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.

– Why? Romans 8:2 (MSG) — Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

We are men are continuously learning what it means how to be a true son. And as He invites us further into redemptive sonship, we step further up and further into the men we were always called to be.
