CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus says in John 15:2 – “Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”

The point of what I believe Jesus is driving at is that God the Father has to prune us or cut some things out of our lives if we are going to remain connected to the vine that is Jesus.  This pandemic, this global trial, is something that we shouldn’t waste, but rather ask God to use this time to show us some idols or sinful patterns that we need for Him to cut out of our lives.  It reminds me of when Rocky Balboa has gone several rounds with Apollo Creed, and he asks his trainer Mick to “cut him,” to open up his eye so he can see to finish the fight.  To be a HIM that is effective in this world, in our homes, and in our churches, we need God to do the same thing.  We need him to cut out and remove sin so that we can go the distance and finish the fight in a way that glorifies Him.  We need to invite God to do that through repenting of sin, and trusting that Jesus died to atone or pay for the sin in our lives.  Yes, when God starts working in your life, sometimes that is going to involve pain, but pain usually accompanies most things that are worth doing.  God bless you men, and see you soon.  Soli Deo Gloria.

HIM, what is a HIM. We all know it’s a High Impact Man but a few things it takes to be such. HIM also means that we should be H.umble in how we act around others. We should be I.ntentional in everything we do and lastly we need to be M.entally tough. Put those together and we can be HIgh Impact men in our community . This is something that Detention talked about a couple years ago and it’s stuck with me ever since and want to keep sharing it with the pax.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In this current time we are in, the world needs more love. Recently, I was convicted of my lack of love for people around me, including my family. 1 John 3:1 says “See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that we are!” This hit home for me because “children of God” is not limited to the people I like. We are called to love everyone. The verse continues, “But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know Him.” This struck me again. When I forget that we are God’s children, I am like the world who doesn’t recognize His children. In my conviction, I prayed that I will remember that we are all God’s children and I will treat people as such, showing love and compassion.
