CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I love old country music. I was recently listening to “You’ve got to stand for something” by Aaron Tippin. As I get older I realize the need for me to stand up in the things that I believe in and not waiver from them. If you died today, would people know what YOU stood for? Put your effort and energy into those things that you stand for daily.

MOLESKIN:
“You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything
You’ve got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what’s right and uphold your family name
You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Aaron Tippin

9 HIMs – welcome back Tightspot.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We typically start our F3 workout with the word “voliltion.” What got me thinking about this was a photo I saw a few years ago. It was a picture of the football field with Army and Navy playing. The caption said something about it being the only game where every player on the field was willing to die for me and my freedom. I also thought of my son-in-law, Travis. During one of his 8 tours of duty he received the Bronze Star for Valor because he chose to live by the Ranger creed to leave no man behind, put himself in harms way, neutralized the situation, and dragged his wounded teammate to safety. Sua Sponte is the Ranger motto – of our own accord or volition.

If you saw Saving Private Ryan, you may remember when a dying Captain John Miller (a Ranger) tells Private Ryan to “earn this.” This disappointed many Army Rangers because they believe that a Ranger would not say something like that. Rangers don’t expect their service to be “earned”, their service is their own volition. Sua Sponte!

This is Christ like action. He chose to obey his Father on His own volition. Yes, in His prayer in the garden, He did ask if there was some other way to accomplish His mission but he always came back to say that He would do the will of His Father. Jesus didn’t ask us to earn it. He did it by choice so that our sins would be forgiven, we would be declared justified in God’s eyes, and redemption could be ours. We don’t have to earn it. We only need to repent, profess Christ, obey, and follow. Not easy, but at least we know the way to everlasting joy and peace.

Prayers for healing for Swerve (and Postpone), Avocado as he gets ready to deploy, Arnold as he prepares to ship out in late September, Drifter as he and Caroline train to help with refugees coming to Knoxville, Rep Sleepy in his prayer request.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Life can feel pretty random when you’re in the middle of it. My own life was extremely random and chaotic in college. Drifting from place to place. Doing random jobs to make ends meet. But when you look back on life, you can see God’s providence at work. For example, all of my seemingly random work and school experience led to a random encounter for a great job which led to moving out here which led to randomly running in the park and randomly joining F3 and randomly dealing with a deep sin issue in my life. You see my point that it’s not really random. God is in control, and whatever random, chaotic, scary thing is going on, you can trust that God is working it out for your good even if it hurts.
