– Word
Inigo Montoya was a tragic character. Not only was his father killed when he was a boy, but his life was consumed with revenge. It dominated his existence.

The Bible tells us the bitterness ensnares us like a weed. His heart and life were being strangled by this weed. The best way to get rid of a weed is to tear it out by the root when it is small. If you wait, it does more damage and is harder to remove.

COT:
F3 math class
3-2=1 just a workout
3-1=2 just hanging out with the guys
But 1+2=3. In the F3 community, there is no way to isolate the 3rd F from the 1st and 2nd.
Leaders are readers – we shared what we are reading. Had a good variety. And asked, is it making us better?
At the prayer request time, we discussed things that affect our belief and how to pray for destructive people who impact us. Two good scenarios were provided:
Stephen’s prayer – forgive for they know not what they do.
God’s response of why to pray for Saul/Paul – I’m going to use him.
Conversation continued into a great coffeeteria.
Thank you for the honor of being the Q today.

COT:
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” (Col. 3:2 ESV).

Sometimes referred to as seeing things from the divine perspective
Good thing we often fail to do merely out of default
Dilemma: difficult to actively pursue this mindset and be about other things
Need to make it a discipline, automatic
Danger: easy to make God whatever we want him to be, idolatry
Need to abide in the word to have an accurate understanding of who God is
Examples of thinking, feeling, doing with the divine perspective; exercise, work, identity, compassion

Proverbs 24:33-34
It can be easy to have a good habit slip away even from just a little bit of rest from it. Be on guard not to let transient events derail your long term success. Sometimes it’s tempting to squeeze in one more thing by taking a “short break” on a consistent good.

Word
“We are men of action. Lies do not become us.”
Who do we lie to? Others? Ourselves? Our God?

One way we lie to all three is by pretending we will live forever.
Think of your legacy. What do you picture? Money? A business? Heirlooms or possessions?
Which of these will survive 10 years? 20 years? 50? 100? Eternity?

Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in the world while he lived and continues to be. However, within months of his death, Apple released a product he said they’d never make: the iPad Mini.

Do not lie to yourself and pretend that your material work will leave a legacy for your family. The only true legacy we can leave is by passing our values from the Word of God to others in our lives. The disciples we make will outlive us way longer than any work of our hands.
