CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Things were tough last year, and this year is turbulent so far.  Many are dismayed, but men of faith can look to God’s word for encouragement and challenge:

Philippians 3:12-16 – Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

Gen Hal Moore (Air Cav Commander in Vietnam, Author of We Were Soldiers Once and Young) wrote that no matter how dire your situation, there is always one more thing you can do to increase your change for success.  And after you do that one thing, there’s always one more thing.

Faithful men can put these two messages together, and the outcome is we always do what we can to serve and trust God, no matter what.  Never give up the faith.

10 HIMs including Fins who joined us after an 8 mile run.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today we commemorated Armistice Day (Veterans Day in the USA).  The fighting during WWI ceased with this truce signed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.  This brought and end to the conflict that took the lives of 9 million soldiers and well over 5 million civilians.  We performed 3 sets of 11’s in remembrance.

The conflict started as a result of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in 1915 by a Serbian patriot.  Various treaties that existed in Europe combined with forms of aggression of one nation toward another led to the involvement of major players like Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, England, and the United States.  The 14+ million dead and 22 million wounded were basically the result of people believing and following the positions taken by their leaders.  Certainly patriotism was a major driving force but leaders of nations and principalities brought it to their citizens.  The leaders believed that enemies of the State must be crushed but when it comes to ordinary citizens of the state it is summed up by the line in poem The Charge of the Light Brigade, “Ours is not to reason why; ours is to do and die.”

So most of us may not have influence or impact over the conflicts between nations but the Bible gives us clear direction on how we are to treat those that we fight with, those we count as enemies.  Here are two good passages:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.”  (NIV, Matthew 5:38-45)
“Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”  (NAS, Romans 12:17-21)

As Christians, we are sent into our world with the expectations found in Holy Scripture.
