CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today is Yom Kippur- The Day of Atonement.

Recap of the significance of this day and the ritual animal sacrifices that went with it.  Yet Christ’s blood offers cleansing far greater than the blood of any animal ever could.

“Under the old system, the high priest brought the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, and the bodies of the animals were burned outside the camp. So also Jesus suffered and died outside the city gates to make his people holy by means of his own blood. So let us go out to him, outside the camp, and bear the disgrace he bore. For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.”

Hebrews 13:11‭-‬14

MOLESKIN:

To be a leader like Jesus, we must let love motivate all we do. We must move toward need, not comfort. We must be willing to go “outside the camp” with Him even if it means suffering and disgrace. We must make things right with others and with God while we still have the chance.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As a man, you have to do everything well.  It’s not enough to just do the work well and then slack off on the running.  In the workout, you have to have good form through all reps and you have to try to maintain the same pace running constantly.  Same for life.  You need to do everything you put your hand to well- work, church, teaching, workouts, etc.  But the constant that you keep coming back to is the run (home life) and you cannot slack off on that.  You have to be a consistent father and husband and not let being a home be where you stop paying attention to how hard you are working.  Stay consistent and do everything with purpose and conviction.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.  I keep coming back to doing life together.  We were not meant to be alone and sometimes it is a lot easier to talk with a fellow man than it is your wife.  It is easy to get sucked into the regular cadence of taking care of your kids and wife and doing things with them but it is okay to spend some time with a friend.  Don’t let the enemy tell you that you every moment you are with a male friend that you should be spending it with your family.  The reason we hear it is because if all the believing men of this world started putting into practice what we are taught in scripture, the enemy would be losing its daggum mind.  We are a force to be reckoned with and the enemy does not want to see it happen.
