BOM- Isaiah 53:5

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

In this assurance that we know without a doubt that our wounds have been healed through His death on the cross. This brings us the ultimate peace and gives us comfort in knowing that He has done it all for us.

It was a great night out with Pinto really crushing our core. Included 3 grizzly veterans with three 50+ respecters showing everyone who is boss.

BOM-
Consistency is so hard for me in every aspect of life. Whether it is eating healthy, getting to the workout in the mornings or more serious things like praying for my wife/family every night, I struggle with it. As an F3 nation we as men need to come alongside each other and encourage one another to stay consistent in our lives and hold each other accountable. It can work for a while by yourself but eventually we fall victim to the voice in our head telling us to let up and take the easy road but every time we do that we regret it. Anytime I fartsack for a workout, an hour after the workout would have been over I regret it. I have never regretted going to a workout, ever, period.

Edit looked strong as usual but Goose was trying his hardest to keep up. Somebody at the end smarted off to Pinto and Lilydipper about their age and got put in the sleeper hold. Great workout as everyone really pushed it and we put over 2 miles of sprinting in.

BOM

We all long for God but may not even realize it
Children try to satisfy that longing with toys – doesn’t last
Adults try to satisfy through bigger toys, cars, houses, boats, or meeting the right woman or getting the perfect job.

Even in relationships, if we expect the longing to be fully satisfied we will be upset – we see this in marriages where spouses blame the other for not meeting their needs.
God has make us with holes in our hearts – made us that way so that He can fill the hole. We must thirst for God.

CS Lewis in Mere Christianity said,
“If I find in myself desires which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” It doesn’t mean the universe is a fraud, it means that “earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing.”

In F3 we point one another to the “real thing.”

Pinto brought a good word with all the fast and furious things around us, there is one thing that remains constant and that is Christ. Even though the horrible fires have happened up in Sevier County we know that he is sovereign and in control.

Moleskin-
The PAX put in some good work today and we were sweating like it was summer. Timberlake made it back from Louisiana and Goose was getting in a workout before his 5th date! Good to see Smallmouth back out and you wouldn’t want to run into him in a dark alley, he is a straight up beast!

“Spiritual warfare is not fighting darkness to restore wholeness.  It is fighting darkness to release virtue.” Larry Crabb

“Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom. 12:21

Understanding that our world is marked conflict and struggle impacts our understanding and experience of the world.  For example:

  • When we find ourselves experiencing hard times we don’t need to be blindsided…it is normal. This world isn’t as it should be.
  • The good that is in the world is worth fighting for!
    • The love of a spouse
    • The love of our kids
    • The innocence of children
    • Relief and of the oppressed
    • The preservation of what is good, right and lovely.
  • The importance of vigilance and “training in righteousness!”
    • Not perfection, simply doing what’s right.

We have another compelling reason to lock shields with other like-minded men. Despite what we see in movies and on TV, men don’t survive war alone…they survive and thrive within a team…within a TRIBE.
