CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Just because you win/lose the battle does not mean you win/lose the war. This could go for a lot of things, but what is on my mind is the war with sin. I recently lost a significant battle with sin and after 2+ years of sobriety concerning seeking out porn, I sought it out just a few days ago. It was a crushing blow that I am still sorting through, but one thing that is different this time is that God is not allowing this lose to shift the momentum of His war on sin in my life. The root cause of the defeat was trying to do things on my own and not reaching out to my battle buddies for help. So when you are facing a losing battle, reach out and get the battle support you need, and don’t let a defeat shift the momentum of the war on sin in your life. Let it fuel your resolve to learn and grow so you can crush it in the next battle.

No time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I spoke about hearing a wife say that she didn’t want to leave her husband behind in the faith. When thinking about F3, the whole phrase of “leave no man behind, and no man where you found him” really resonates with me. I think I appreciate it so much because I feel like it reminds me of how God pursues lost sinners like me. I read from most of Isaiah 53 which talks about all the things that Jesus does for us. He carries our sorrows, He was numbered with us as transgressors, He died to make intercession for us. The challenge I left us with is we need to fight against the temptation to leave behind our wives, children, and friends when it comes to faith.

I am not a planner and that’s ok. I admire those that plan ahead and are well organized but don’t think you have to have everything planned out before you make a decision. Sometimes it’s good to just commit and then figure it out .

8 HIMs this morning

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I went to a men’s conference two Saturdays ago and wanted to share a summary of what one of the speakers said.

The quote that stuck with me the most was: “Our families need more than a provider, they need a leader that provides.”

Lead with love and lowliness

John 13:1
“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.”

Ephesians 5:25
“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”

John 13:12-14
“When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”

MOLESKIN:
Pray for Smuggler as he works with his children to make good decisions, Pray for Walt’s neighbors, Pray for Swerve for God honoring solutions

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
How many times have we overlooked all this trash? *gestures to the 12 trash bags we used.* We don’t see it because we are busy with other stuff. Or we do see it and whatever we are doing prevents us from dealing with it. So it is in our lives. The little bits of trash pile up on us if we are not intentional about dealing with it. So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work.
MOLESKIN:
Important tasks, done consistently over time, have a cumulative effect. Urgent tasks rarely have that effect.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
20th will be some friends giving and helping with the children presents.
