COT:
“God must do everything for us. Our part is to yield and trust.”

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.” – A.W. Tozer

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

COT
Say You’re About It – Be About It
Here are the highlights from the Word today. danhenson.substack.com/p/f3-word-11525.

– We’re here to challenge and encourage each other, work hard, and push each other to be better men for ourselves, our families, our friends, and our spheres of influence.
– My hope is that when you show up to an F3 workout (wherever that might be), you are challenged and encouraged in your Fitness Fellowship and Faith. Just as Paul encouraged Titus in leading by example in speech, conduct, and work – we should do the same thing with each other.
– Cut out the negativity, complaining, putting down others, inappropriate and over the line mumblechatter – we don’t have time for that garbage and it’s exhausting. We’re here to work hard together + maximize the time we have during a workout (45 minutes, 60 minutes, whatever).
– Our environment and surroundings should not dictate or character, conduct, and discipline, or the ability to work hard.
– The same methodology applies to the mission of F3: to plant grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. If we say that we’re about that mission – let’s be about that mission.
– If we say we’re about this life of High Impact Manhood – let’s be about it. Our wives, families, friends, and communities we are a part of need us to be.
– Be challenged and encouraged that you have it what it takes to be the HIM you were called to be – with the guidance of God and the help of each other. Get after it brother. Iron Sharpens Iron!
