CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Great scene in Big Trouble in Little China where Egg Shen gives the heroes a potion that will let them “see what no one else can see. Do what no one else can do.” But you don’t need a magic potion. Each one of us already sees what no one else can see and has the chance to do what no one else can do. I see three things we should do in response to this reality so that we can be ready:

  1. Learn to do stuff – You can only do what you can do. Learn more and you can do more. Take the opportunities you have at home, school, and everywhere else.
  2. Pay Attention – If you want to act when the time comes, you have to realize that the time has come. Keep your eyes and ears open so you can see your opportunity when it shows itself.
  3. Step up – When the critical moment comes, it is often easy to look around for someone else to take action. Don’t wait for someone else, step up and take action. Nobody else can do it like you.

MOLESKIN:
Great fellowship time afterwards. Kids really enjoyed it. We will look into another one of these in July.

9 of the best men that I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Last week, my family camped in South Carolina’s Table Rock State Park and the Pisgah National Forest.  Both were gorgeous areas and I highly recommend them for a weekend getaway (both are around 3 hours from Knox).  Several times while we were camping, I saw references to the “Leave No Trace” outdoor ethic – a sign here, a ranger-led talk over there… If you are unfamiliar, the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace are;

  1. Plan ahead and prepare
  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces
  3. Dispose of waste properly
  4. Leave what you find
  5. Minimize campfire impacts
  6. Respect wildlife
  7. Be considerate of other visitors

Leave No Trace might be summarized in one word – impact.  The idea is to minimize the impact that you make in nature – to the extent that someone else might camp right after you and have no idea that you had been there.

When it comes to our faith – what a shame it would be if we claimed to connect with God in our heart, yet there was no evidence of it outwardly.  What a tragedy it would be if our faith left no trace on our lives.

Summarizing from the book of James (2:14-26)

What good is it if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?  Can’t you see that faith without good deeds is useless?  Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.

Your faith should be leaving a trace…on your schedule…on your priorities…on your bank account…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today’s third F is about the 2nd F: Fellowship.

Proverbs 18:1
He who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgement

Transparency is the currency of intimacy so make yourself known.  Most of all to your family; share your heart with your wife and kids.  But also to guys out here.

When was the last time you opened your home; showed hospitality and avoided isolation.  It is possible to be a part of F3 and still isolated.  It is possible to go to church and remain totally isolated.  You have to open up and allow yourself to not go it alone.

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 ESV

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
focused on an example of a North Korean defector who went through tremendous adversity to attain her goals. Along the way she learned to not judge the hardship of others. The word focused on extending that us, to not judge the hardship of others, but to provide guidance to help folks be the best they can be.
