COT: Confidence plays an important role in Mens’ lives. Whether you are working to gain/strengthen it or simply maintain confidence through hardships. I shared that it wook me almost 7 months at F3 before I felt personally confident to Q. Now I regularly do it once a week or more and have complete confidence not that it’s a “good Q” but that I am doing my best and am capable. Be confident!

COT:

Excerpt from a 2002 John Piper in which he is talking about making war against areas of sin in your life.

Romans 8:13: “If by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” Do you want to enter into life? Do you want to live? Get violent. Get a wartime mindset. Stop making peace with ears and eyes and tongues and hands and feet that betray you like Judas, and go over to the side of the enemy and become instruments of sin and make war on your soul. Put to death the deeds of your body……..
……It’s a violence against all lust in ourselves, and enslaving desires for food or caffeine or sugar or chocolate or alcohol or pornography or money or the praise of men and the approval of others or power or fame. It’s violence against the impulses in our own soul toward racism and sluggish indifference to injustice and poverty and abortion.
Christianity is not a settle-in-and-live-at-peace-with-this-world-the-way-it-is kind of religion. If by the Spirit you kill the deeds of your own body, you will live. Christianity is war — on our own sinful impulses…….
….. I hear so many Christians murmuring about their imperfections and their failures and their addictions and their shortcomings — and I see so little war. Murmur, murmur, murmur. “Why am I this way?” Make war! If you wonder how to make war, go to the manual. Don’t just bellyache about your failures. Make war!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: read Jeremiah 29:11 and shared that birthdays are a good time to reflect on what’s been accomplished and what you want to still do. Also discussed that we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish is a short time and greatly underestimate what can be accomplished longer. So please look at any hardship through the lens of the last several years vs minutes, hours, or days. It will help you recognize that there’s a process happening and right now you might just be at a hard point.

COT:
In a world full of randomness people overestimate their ability to predict events. Just when we think we have it figured out, something unexpected happens. How we handle ourselves in these moments is critical. You can either let it defeat you, or embrace that it’s God’s plan for you. Choosing God’s path will positively shape your character.

Jeremiah 29:11
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.
