Count-off & Name-O-Rama

BOM:

Shared an excerpt from a book by Rosaria Butterfield, a one-time LGBT activist, and now a born-again Christian and mother of 4.  She tells the story of a time she was asked to tone down her message and stop calling sin a “sin”, but rather to just say that it’s her personal opinion.  Her answer:

“I responded by letting them know that I am not smart enough to have this opinion, but that this is the position the inspired and inerrant Word of God upholds.  It comes to me from the historic Christian church…through the pages of Scripture, and so on down to me.  I told her that changing my message would involve denying the plain meaning of Scripture, the testimony of the church, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and the gospel.  But to the postmodern mind…her request seems reasonable enough:  just own this position of mine as a personal point of view.  But claiming something that is a universal truth to be a mere matter of personal preference is a lie by omission.”

I shared with the PAX that this is something I struggle with each and every day.  Too often, I take the easy way out when discussing biblical truths and couch them as my own personal opinion during a difficult conversation.  Our challenge as we continue to put God first this year and ourselves last is to stand on our faith…even when it’s uncomfortable…and not take the easy way out by claiming “it’s just my opinion”.  As Christians we should be confident in sharing our beliefs as well as the truths they are based in.

You know how to count to eleven, right?

Count off and Name-O-Rama

BOM:
We were challenged by Mayberry on his last BOM to put ourselves 3rd. God, Friends/Family, and then us. 2 Things we can do to make small steps towards that are: 1. Carve out the first 5 minutes of your day to be with the Sky-Q. Ask God, What is it that you would have me do for you today? 2. Be present in the moment. Be in the conversation and not lost in your own thoughts.

Moleskin:
This was a challenging workout for me to lead. My comfort zone lies in lifting CMU’s! I wanted to lead a workout beyond my capacity. With the support of the PAX we managed to get some pretty good work in and complete on time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the PAX that couldn’t be with us today.

BOM
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hope – (verb) to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence; to believe, desire, or trust

Other things that we hope in:
– Money
– Power
– Popularity
– Relationships
– Success

The problem is those are all fickle and fading.  There is one true constant in all creation, the creator.  And he has called us his sons.  Place your confidence, belief, desire and trust in HIM…and you will find both strength and rest.

MOLESKIN
The PAX crushed the workout this morning!  Everyone was giving 100% and making sure their brother was doing the same.  No better way to kick off 2017!

Mountain Climbers ICx20
American Hammers ICx15

Count-Off and Name-O-Rama:

BOM:
P-nut related how our run down Route 66 was an analogy to traveling life’s path. We have distractions along the way, but we need to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 9…and how we must be willing to sacrifice everything in order to truly follow Him.

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request for Pfieffer’s grandfather and relief from holiday stress…especially that stress placed on our wives.

Moleskin:

A group of brave souls with questionable judgment participated in a RUCK/run prior to the beat-down. All PAX were treated to 3 miles and a buffet of burpees, squats and merkins. Spirits were high and the mumblechatter was strong. Great morning at the Pound.

Respectfully submitted,

P-Nut

Getting the week started right!

 Take Every Thought Captive

 If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. —John 8:36

 God pays no attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His plan runs right through our natural life. We must see to it that we aid and assist God, and not stand against Him by saying,

“I can’t do that.” God will not discipline us; we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring our “arguments…and every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5)— we have to do it. Don’t say, “Oh, Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts.” Don’t suffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individual natural life and win freedom into the spiritual life.
