BOM: Heart of a Warrior.

From the book, “Fight: Winning the Battles That Matter Most”, by Craig Groeschel, God has given us each a heart of a warrior. An inward, natural desire to stand up for what’s pure and true.  A warrior must have a cause to fight for or he will find the wrong thing to fight against.  You may not think of yourself as a warrior. You’re laid back. Everything is cool, no worries.  You may think you don’t even have a reason to fight.  Well, consider this.  “You’re already in a fight, whether you know it or not. Your spiritual enemy wants to take you out.  He’s a master at making strong men weak.  Sometimes he does that by making us comfortable, secure, and safe, resigned to a mediocre life because it’s familiar and doesn’t require much from us.  Is that really how you want to live.”  –Craig Groeschel

Remember this… God is in the business of making weak men strong.  If we call on HIm, He will equip his warriors with strength and purpose.

Moleskin:  The PAX showed up strong and mostly on time.  Pushed hard, encouraged one another.  Great morning at the JUCO!

Celebrate

I think we all know the story of the prodigal son, but just in case…

A father has two sons and he has promised than part of an inheritance. One son tells his father he is leaving and wants his part of the money. The son gets the money runs alway and spends it on hookers, booze, and wild parties. He thought he had it all, the money, the women, and tons of friends. But when the money dried up, and the women were gone, so were his “friends”. He found himself working as a pig farmer, but unable to even eat the food the pigs were eating. Wearing rags and living off pig scraps he decided to return to his father and beg for a job.

And we all know that he got there and he had sinned and asked for forgiveness the father celebrated and gave home sandals, a robe, a ring, and a feast. And they celebrate. The image being that God celebrates whenever we are lost from him and we return.

Celebrate being able to get up in the morning to come to F3, celebrate our jobs, celebrate or wives, celebrate our children. Celebrate the love God has for us and share that love as we go out today.

The new thing I warned about this morning was that Swirly was going to Q for me as his make up VQ. He had an accident last night and couldn’t make it. I believe it was a blessing in disguise because he shared his plans with me and it will be tough if he ever gets to do it!

Calling on the name of God. Exodus 3:14 “God said to Moses, “I Am that I Am.” And He said “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I Am has sent me to you.”

When we describe ourselves we say “I am tired”, “I am not a leader”, “I am the boss” or “I am awesome”. We are calling the name of God every time.  If we are weak or tired, we have called on the name of God.  If we have accomplished some great task that we are proud of, we have called on the name of God.  Remember that it is God that gives us strength, quenches our thirst and helps us to accomplish everything we do.

BOM: Living out of a condition of Fear.

Life comes at us fast. We may not even realize we are constantly living out of a condition of fear.  Fear of failing.  Fear of being hurt.  Fear of missing out on something.  Another way to explain this condition is “anxiety”.   We’ve all experienced anxiety in different areas of our lives. Financial anxiety; will we have enough money to pay the bills, to go on a vacation, to pay for kid’s braces? Emotional (relationships) anxiety; Will I ever be happy? Are my kids happy?  My wife? Will I end up being alone? Work and Career anxiety: Am I on track? Am I stuck in a dead-end?  Do I have security?  Does my boss even know I’m here?  House, Cars, Kids, Church, Family, School, Work, etc. OVERWHELMED!

What’s the answer??   It’s right there staring us in the face – FAITH.  The Third F!  Let your Faith be bigger than your Fear.  Go read Hebrews chapter 11.  Amen, Brothers.
