Ephesians 6:10-17

In my reading in the book “Wild at Heart” I was pondering how prevalent the enemy is in our daily life and we may not realize it. The idea of Satan fitting into our theology is an easy enough concept but our modern age has a political, psychological, or scientific explanation for almost everything. We can often times read right past some scripture that attributes illness, depression, or misfortune to satanic forces but not really expect to encounter that in our daily life. I encouraged the PAX to understand how badly Satan desires to destroy anything that bares God’s image specifically our marriage. It is imperative that we as men know who we are in God’s eyes, and who our wives are in His eyes as well. if we meditate on this often it will be far less likely for the enemy to gain a foot hold in our lives.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Having a goal and working hard for it.
In the beginning of this workout all of us had a goal of finishing. We worked hard, we sweat, we even got a little bit dirty. Such is life. We are going to have to work hard, we are going to have to sweat during tough times, we are going to have crap covering us from head to toe at times. We may want to give up, we may want to get mad, we may want to yell at God. But, we need to stay strong and we need to know what is waiting for us at the end. Today it’s a nice feeling of accomplishment, in life, it’s eternity in heaven with God.

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

MOLESKIN:
lots of grunting and grumbling of arms being spent. BUT! Everyone pushed hard to hit their goals
