The life of a Christian…
Some would say that this is a life of restriction, rules, and lack of fun. I would disagree. It is true that the Bible teaches a standard to live by. Yes, there are commandments to follow, and that means avoiding what much of the world would consider “fun” in some cases. However, what is missed by this viewpoint is the intent behind those commands. Take for example the law against drunkenness. There may be some temporary pleasure in this, but there are many possible negative consequences: damaged families, health concerns, risk of injury, etc. God’s way is better because it shields us from those negative consequences. God always has our best interests in mind. He demonstrates this ultimately by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to live as a human, experience all the temptations that we do without sin, and then sacrifice Himself for our sins. He did not deserve death; we do.
Romans 5:6-9 NASB1995
[6] For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. [8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
The Christian life is the best kind of life. If anyone ever wants to talk more about this, I am always happy to discuss.

This is the 50ish day follow up bootcamp from Pentecost workout that followed 50 days after Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. A life changing, world changing and eternity changing thing happened over those 50 days after the resurrection and the men of JUCO were invited to do some powerful in their lives with 50 days.

Updates as follows:

Love Shaq has been hitting up camps with his students to develop better relationships and has some professional development coming up later this summer that should equip him with some better tools for the classroom.

Fetch – Some journaling has happened but he wants to be more consistent with it.

Guardrail – Solid on pullups but injured his wrist doing hand walking. Wants to do better with encouragement and prayer.

Commission – This push has been just what I needed to kickstart the development I hope to build and everything is on track with the timeline I set.

COT:
My wife and I had a “staycation” this week. We took the kids to visit with grandparents, and I took a couple of days off from work. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

COT: Seeking wisdom to choose and execute a righteous path, a path that will serve, and yes, a path that will reward. I think about the freedom, and release of burden associated with dropping the false façade’s we in leadership roles, and in business trap ourselves within.
It’s about opening your heart, so your mind is open to receive wisdom. Self aggrandizing, can close your heart to others and only serves to falsely exalt/elevate you. This separates you from others. Separating yourself only prevents your ability to receive wisdom from those around you. You may ask Him for wisdom, but your own pride can interfere with your ability to hear His word, and receive the gift of wisdom. Exalting oneself is to hold yourself above others. This separation may also separate you from receiving the wisdom you may be seeking.

In Matthew 23:12, Jesus declares, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Similarly, Proverbs 22:4 reminds us that pride leads to disgrace, while humility brings forth wisdom. Pride blinds us to our dire need for salvation and corrupts our spiritual growth.
