“The problem with quotes found on the internet is that they are often not true.” -Abraham Lincoln

big party at the DeFrancos house!  Story of party getting out of control quickly.

there are so many things that look accurate but have no truth in it at all.
example: “Good things happen to good people”, “Follow Jesus and your life will be perfect” God has never promised a perfect life with no troubles. In fact, he says that once you become a Christian your trials will continue and possibly get tougher. BUT….you now have hope. You have hope because you know the end. You know that with what ever you face you can and WILL Overcome with Jesus. . May not be on your time, but as a follower of Jesus you know that you are forgiven and that ultimately you will have all of your troubles and debts paid off.
So, is it going to be easy?……. Nope, will we win?…..yep!

Here is another quote from a president from our bible Devi: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

God is not controlled by fear. Have courage thru trials by trusting God.

Lyrics from Faithful Now:
I am holding on to faith
‘Cause I know You’ll make a way
And I don’t always understand,
And I don’t always get to see.
But I will believe it, yes I will believe it.

You make mountains move, You make giants fall
You use songs of praise to shake prison walls
So I will speak to my fear,
I will preach to my doubt
That You were faithful then, You’ll be faithful now

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word for today was about leaning on each other. Trusting each other and helping each other through difficult times. Not being timid about reaching out to someone when you are struggling. F3 is made for that. The work out this morning was based on a group and then separating out to yourself and coming back together as a group. Everyone worked a little bit harder when they were with the group than on their own. #isi
MOLESKIN:
It was great being back out at the dog pound. Great mumble chatter and we were able to avoid the rain for most of the work out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s an age old question and one of the biggest reasons why people reject God – the problem of suffering.  If God were so loving, why would He allow us to suffer? You hear a lot: “Well, I just don’t know why this is happening to me” or “God just doesn’t answer the question of why we suffer” or “I don’t deserve this.” There are times (I believe few) when we just don’t know why we are suffering but to say God does not answer this question is just plain false. Don’t trust me – my words have little weight.  Trust the God of the Universe – His do:

1) Because of SIN – Romans 3:12, Mark 10:18.  There are no good people, not even one He says.  There is a song out by Luke Bryan that states “I believe most people are good.”  Luke Bryan doesn’t know Scripture.  God says not only the opposite but that NO ONE is good. All have turned away.  Sometimes I’ll hear “I just don’t deserve this.”  That’s right, you deserve worse. In my own life, I’m not shocked by the suffering when it comes.  What I’m shocked by is His overwhelming grace.  We deserve His wrath.  We do not deserve His grace.  King David’s life was filled with sin and the awful consequences of it – loss of an infant, wars with his children, never got to see the temple built.  Sometimes we suffer because of our sin.

2)  To Warn Others – 1 Kings 2.  As David did on his deathbed to his son, Solomon. “Be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires: walk in obedience to Him, and keep His decrees and commands, his laws and regulations…..”

3) To Affirm Our Commitment to Christ – 2 Timothy 3:12, 1 Peter 1:6-7.  If you are trying to live a Godly life, you WILL face persecution.  When it comes, you shouldn’t pray for the suffering to go away but that God will give you the boldness to do what He has called you to do.

4) To Produce Steadfastness, Endurance and Character – James 1:2-3. Have you ever considered that suffering may be for your own good?  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.  Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything.” Want to get a good workout in spiritually, try suffering.

5) To Recalibrate Our Focus on Heaven – Romans 8:18-19.  Suffering can make us yearn for our real home – Heaven, with Jesus as King. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.  For creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.”

6) To Humble Us – 2 Corinthians 12:7.  The Apostle Paul was shipwrecked, beaten, imprisoned, mocked, rebuked by his kinsmen, and ultimately beheaded for Jesus.  “Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me. I pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from me.  But, He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

When suffering comes we have two options: 1) We can reject God or 2) We can run to Him, embrace Him, and allow Him to transform us.  I REALLY like option 2.
