THA-THANG:
This week is our schedule “Accelerate Your King: You vs. You Workout #2”. Some Rampart PAX took a shorter version of this test in August. Others are setting a baseline.
1. Max BBS in 1 minute
Partner up. Partner can hold your feet, if desired. Arms crossed at your chest or hands behind your head. Elbows touch your knees on “up”. Shoulders touch the ground on “down”.
2. Max merkins in 1 minute
Partner up. Partner puts his fist on the ground while other does merkins. Chest must touch his fist to count as a rep.
3. ~1.5 mile (2,400 meter) run for time
Distance does NOT have to be precise. Should be approximately 1.5 miles.
Slowzy to Pull Up Bars allllllllll the way to the other side of Rampart. YHC’s logistical error.
4. Max pull-ups
Max that can be performed before letting go of the bar. No time limit. Modify as necessary if AO lacks a good bar.
5. Max burpees in 5 minutes
Standard “full” burpee with a merkin and a jump. Clap or don’t clap…your choice. (Rampart. Always. Claps…Always.)
MARY:
No time for Mary.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Real Faith involves discipline. God’s Grace works best when we cooperate with it.
Paul had a profound mixture of ardent faith and hardened discipline.
- “I thank God, through Jesus Christ my Lord.” (Rom 7)
- “I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.” (2 Tim 1)
- “Salvation by faith alone so that no one can boast” (Eph 2)
Also said…
- “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection” (1 Cor 9)
- “They, that are Christ’s, have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.” (Gal 5)
- “So I fight, not as one who beats the air.” (1 Cor 9 again)
Paul put a lot of faith on God’s work and was a very disciplined.
Philippians 2:12-13
“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”
Work In – God is working on the stuff you can’t see
Work Out – You’re responsible for the stuff you CAN see
1. Does your faith lack discipline?
Are you pinning it all on God for your growth?
Are you waiting to be inspired?
We have to put our desires into submission.
2. Does your discipline lack faith? (This might be a lot of us)
Two separate compartments
Or we get the idea that this earns God’s grace somehow.
Are you extra hard on yourself?
Are you beginning in your relationship with the Lord?
We’ll eventually run out of steam if we’re on our own.
Are you partnering with/cooperating with God’s grace in your life?
YHC’s guess is that we have a hard time reconciling the two.
