I have been thinking quite a bit about being a good steward of what God has provided.  God owns everything – (Psalm 24:1-2).  The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who are in it.  Accept what you have – (1 Timothy 6:7-8) Basically this verse says you come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing.  Seek first His Kingdom, and submit your requests to Him – (Matthew 6:33) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Guys, realize that we are here to simply manage what is already His.  We need to seek out his kingdom, his righteousness and aim to use what he has blessed us with for His glory rather than our own.

The New Testament mentions “One Another” 59 times It specifically says “love one another” 15 separate times.
John 13:34 says
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.””

So who is Jesus talking about when he says “one another”? Christians? Jews?…..Everyone.
It’s easy to love family, friends, F3 brothers. It’s not easy loving everyone. Are we lovable? Not always. We have sin in our hearts we are going to disappoint.
Jesus loved us….warts and all.  Lets love on the unloveable.

I’ve recently been listening to The Minimalists’ podcast. I’m guilty of cluttering my life with things. Consumerism isn’t the problem. We must consume. Food. Clothes. Gasoline. Air. Impulsive consumption is the problem. Buying things we don’t need with money we shouldn’t spend. Someone important said something like that, I think.

Last night I watched The Minimalist’s documentary with some friends. We watched it on our big TV. With surround sound. I downloaded it on my laptop. Tried mirroring it from our iPad. When that didn’t work, we streamed it from our AppleTV. At one point I had 5 devices within arms reach, trying to get a documentary about simplicity to work. The irony was thick. And healing. Like a Heimlich to my conscience.

Goal for the Week: Eliminate ONE THING from your life that doesn’t add value to your life.

For example, you might walk around the rooms in your house. Look at the items you have stacked in the corners. The sofa no one ever sits on. The chair whose only purpose is to hold pillows. Look in your closet. Consider the items of clothing that you don’t wear because A. they don’t fit, or B. you don’t like them. Consider any habits or routines in your life that are a drain on your time or energy. Do you really need to check emails at 11:30pm? Are you honestly that important to the world? Probably not.

“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” – Coach John Wooden

A good life is built one block at a time.  It takes effort and intentionality.  HIMs understand that their lives are not their own, that they get better in order to give more to those the love and live with.  Coach Wooden’s definition of success is appropriate for every area of life…physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Each F3 workout is a microcosm of life.  Take what you learned this morning, keep pushing and give it away!

MOLESKIN
The PAX pushed hard this morning!  It is an incredible experience to line up each morning with men who are ready to reach past their limits to get better and make sure their brothers are doing the same.  Prayer time at the end was especially good.  Praying for needs and hearing praise reports was inspiring for YHC.  Can’t wait to get back out there and do it again!
