CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Have you ever asked your kids to complete a chore? Maybe on this occasion they didn’t really want to. They eventually end up doing it, but not before dragging their feet, walking super slow, staring at the task and then begrudgingly start. How did that you make you feel? If you’re like me you anxiety kicks into overdrive and you start offering some verbal motivation.

Have you ever felt a calling in your life, or felt that God wanted you to move in one direction over another? Maybe on this occasion you said, “I’ll pray about it…” “Let me think about it…” Maybe you drug your feet a little…

What we know as Parents or as Leaders, is that delayed obedience is really disobedience. Next time you feel God pulling you in one direction or another, just do it! Don’t delay.

Do you think when Noah was asked to the build the Ark that he was hemming and hawing before he got to work? Or do you think he just got started? He didn’t even know what an Ark was…

If you feel God calling you into something, just step into it. Immediately.

MOLESKIN:

We’re missing Men from our consistent Tuesday crowd. A lot of people are sick right now. Please make sure to pray this week especially for Excitebike and the loss of his Grandfather, Junk & Family as they are answering a call into being foster parents and our community as sickness is spreading fast.

MOLESKIN:
It was great to see some familiar faces out there this morning. Repeat, full tank, proton. I tried a little something different but kind of the same this morning. We had no FNG to introduce and get to know so I asked repeat to give us a little something about himself. Never knew how he got his name.
waxjob shared with us his situation with taking on children have a relative that passed away. Waxjob truly is a HIM in every sense of the word. Junk prayed for him and for Ribbed’s wife as we finished up the work out. We are planning on some meals for Waxjob as they transition to a larger family

Partakers of His Suffering

…but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.

The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”

Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”

Great seeing Slide Rule out again! Also, everyone grab a Q!
