BOM:
Why We Should Love Our Enemies
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” (Luke 6:27)

There are two main reasons why Christians should love their enemies and do good to them.

One is that it reveals something of the way God is. God is merciful.

“He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45).
“He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities” (Psalm 103:10).
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
So, when Christians live this way, we show something of what God is like.

The second reason is that the hearts of Christians are satisfied with God and are not driven by the craving for revenge or self-exaltation or money or earthly security.

God has become our all-satisfying treasure and so we don’t treat our adversaries out of our own sense of need and insecurity, but out of our own fullness with the satisfying glory of God.

Hebrews 10:34: “You joyfully accepted the plundering of your property [that is, without retaliation], since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” What takes away the compulsion of revenge is our deep confidence that this world is not our home, and that God is our utterly sure and all-satisfying reward.

So, in both these reasons for loving our enemy we see the main thing: God is shown to be who he really is as a merciful God and as gloriously all-satisfying.

The ultimate reason for being merciful is to glorify God

Let’s Wing it!

The parable of the sower
“Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:16-17‬ ‭
Persecution, strife, pain, struggle and trials in our lives will come. So what do we do? Will we wither away or will we dig in with our roots?
James 1:2-3 says
“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.”
Push through Physically and mentally with faith in our God who strengthens us. Pray. Read his word, lean on your brothers and do not give up.
Our Championship Belt is waiting on us in heaven!
Moleskin:

17 men + a large Octagon shape + moaning and grunting + CMUs + private parking lot= cops being called

Take a knee.  When we get knocked down, when we go through struggles and when we hit a wall what do we do, we take a knee.  We take a knee not because we are weak but because at that time we take it to Jesus.  And then we get up, no matter what we get up and we keep moving forward.

But when we can’t get up on our own?  We as men are usually told asking for help is a sign of weakness.  I don’t believe that, I think not asking for help when you need it is the sign of weakness.  A true HIM knows he can’t do everything on his own and there is a time when he needs is Father in Heaven, and his friends.  Jesus said in John 15:12-14 “My command is this, love each other.  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for their friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command”

There is no doubt that Jesus paid the ultimate debt and gave his life for us, and I don’t think he meant for us to just give up our lives for our friends.  But it does mean we need to make sacrifices and give up our time, talent, treasures, etc, in order to be with a friend in need and left them up.  I think we can all think of a friend who might need a hand.  I encourage each of you to send them a message, give them a call, take them to lunch, and help them stand up and keep moving forward.
