“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:13-16‬

We are called to be salt and light to the world. Don’t hide your light or lose your saltiness but instead stand firm in your belief

Matthew 7:13-14 “13 gEnter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy1 that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and hthe way is hard that leads to life, and ithose who find it are few.”

Reflecting on this verse in my daily Bible reading, I was struck by the “gate is narrow and those who find it are few.” Perhaps one reason it is hard to find is that there are so many truths being screamed at all of us, and all are said to be equally valid. The law of non-contradiction says that can’t be true. Living a personal “truth” that is not congruent with God’s absolute truth as revealed in the Bible will not lead to the good life now, eternal life, or flourishing. That only comes from not just embracing, but also submitting to the truth of our Lord. I know that isn’t a popular message today, but encouraging people to live their “truth” if their “truth” is harmful isn’t loving at all. It’s like letting at toddler play in the middle of Alcoa Highway because we are worried we might upset them. Sometimes we have to be the ones to tell a hard truth, even if that hard truth conversation is just one we have with ourselves. God’s truth should set us free. God’s truth leads us to redemption, instead of enslaving us to our own lusts. Praying for you men, and have a great rest of the week.

“Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done, whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of will, content, and a hundred other virtues which the idle never know.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We aren’t called to carry the burdens of life alone. Galatians 6:2 “Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

The sandbag in the workout represented the burdens we may carry. Started the workout letting the men know that it was all of our responsibilities to make sure that sandbag reached the finished line. This was not about being the first to complete the circuit. If we saw someone struggling, help them. That may even mean that we carry it for them.

In life we may have opportunity to come along those who are struggling. We should see that as an opportunity to show Christ’s love by bearing that burden with them or for them. We may also be the recipient of that at some point in out lives.

Look for opportunity!

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.
