CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

In many ways our lives today are better than they could have ever been. We can solve most of our problems quickly and efficiently. However, most of our pains and pleasures as well as the pursuits of these are devoid of meaning. I encourage you all to find ways to insert meaningfulness into your lives whenever you can. Certainly for me, F3 has been one avenue for me. There is a sense of community embracing the suck together. Reach out to old friends and try to encourage them to come out, or try to interact with them in another meaningful way. Live purposefully with intent and even the painful days will be worthwhile.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Through F3 we learn that it takes commitment, discipline and encouragement to achieve our goal of becoming healthier men.  In our relationship with God, we also need commitment, discipline and encouragement.  If we want to grow closer to God, we should not just sit around and wait for it to happen.  Jesus says in Matthew 16:24, “if anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross to follow me.”  We must discipline and push ourselves through solitude time with God, through reading scripture, through prayer, through worship.  And while solitude time with God is important, we also need encouragement.  That comes through spending time in worship with our brothers and sisters.  As Jesus said, He is there “wherever two or more are gathered in my name.”

Joy of Restoration
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/gen.1.1.esv

Then sin happened and now everything here is different from what it was originally intended to be.

Christmas marks the beginning of the restoration.

“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭35:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The guys were very gracious as I was a little late getting to the start point.
