CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Let’s play a round of Jeopardy:

Alex, I’ll take, “Things that make the Lord spit for $1000

The clue, having little to no enthusiasm, lacking conviction : half hearted, or moderately warm

The answer, what is Luke-warm.

That’s right the Lord has a severe distaste for luke-warm Christians.

Revelation chapter 3:14-16

““To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.”

Retreat can be dealt with, advance is the desire, but luke-warmness is the enemy.

When we are first saved we have a zeal to share the Gospel. We want everyone we love to be saved, and to have the same enthusiasm we have about Christ. But, time passes, I get stagnant, the new wears off and I settle into this place where I am not running from the Lord, but I am also not running for the Lord. I am mid race sitting on a park bench. I might say as I see a friend headed towards hell, you know, there is an alternative to your pain, but I let them keep walking or I see a brother running for the Lord as he goes by, I might run along for a few moments, just until the next park bench and have a seat. I cannot be counted on when I am Luke-warm.

We can apply this to every area of our lives, how’s your first F? Getting better, getting worse, or just maintaining? How about your second F? Do you seek out your brothers, your wife, or children for fellowship to make sure they are doing good, or just letting them be so you don’t have to deal with their problems? How about your third F? Serving the Lord? Running from him, or sitting on a park bench?

What’s the solution? Run your race, set goals and meet them. Be an encouragement to your loved ones. Re-apply yourself after your failure. We could go on and on but we won’t.

That’s the word.

Prayer requests.

MOLESKIN:

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle Hop, Tempo Merkins, Willie Mayes Hayes, LBC’s, Moroccan Night Clubs, Knoxville Cherry Pickers and we were ready to go.
THA-THANG:
Workout area was set up like a clock with each hour of the clock identified with a placard identifying the hour and the exercise to go with it.

12 o’clock- Merkins, 1 o’clock- heavy squats, 2 o’clock- low planks, 3 o’clock – Hello Dollies

4 o’clock- curls, 5 o’clock lunges, 6 o’clock – high planks, 7 o’clock box cutters

8 o’clock- triceps extensions, 9 o’clock 8 count body builders, 10 0clock- mtn climbers, 11 o’clock Freddie Mercury’s

The Q kept the time of 1 minute increments continuously running.  Each HIM was on a different exercise and when the timer was started the first round, each person would do the exercise for 40 seconds and then move to the next exercise within 20 seconds.  This was done until the round was completed (12 minutes) and then time stood still as we ran appx 200 meters.

Once the group was back in position, the Q started the clock and the group repeated the trip around the clock with 50 seconds of exercise and 10 seconds to move to the next exercise.  This was done until the round was completed (12 minutes) and then time stood still and we ran appx 200 meters.

For the 3rd round, we took turns picking out an hour on the clock and doing the same exercise as a group until 6am.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Rampart had 6 HIMs beat the gloom and utilize our time that we were given to strengthen our F3″s
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word came from Luke 13:6-9.  The story of the gardener that took care of the owners fig tree.  The owner comes and sees that the tree once again has not produced fruit (after 3 years) and tells the gardener to cut it down “Why should it use up the soil”!  The gardener asks for another year to fertilize and care for the tree.  It in one years time it has not produced fruit, it will be cut down and replaced with a tree that will produce fruit.

As we emphasized the use of time and the importance of utilizing the limited amount that we are given, we must look at this parable and see that we are given a specific amount of time on this earth to produce fruit.  If we don’t produce the fruit, God will use another to fulfill his will and we will have missed out on the opportunity he has given us.  At the end of our life we will be judged.  We will not enter Heaven by our good works (our fruit) but by the mercy and grace given to us freely by God and the sacrifice of Christ.  It is because of this mercy, grace and sacrifice that we should strive to utilize every second that we have to produce good fruit.  This can be leading people to Christ or just showing the love that Christ showed to others.  Our clock is ticking, utilize every moment.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.12.2.ESV

MOLESKIN: 

Your day is either won or lost in the mind. One of the fundamental messages of the New Testament is transformation. Everyone in Christ is a new creation! “The old has gone, the new is here!”

 

Why, then, aren’t we all experiencing transformed lives?

 

I’ve met so many Christians who have given up on the idea of truly changing. They’ve tried and tried. They’re sincere and committed to Christ, but Christianity is “not working” for them.

 

Spiritual fatigue. Your faith has stalled. You’re stuck, not growing, and out of energy.

Spiritual frustration. You can’t seem to overcome some private sin or maintain spiritual discipline.

Spiritual exhaustion. You keep trying to pray more, read the Bible more, serve more, worship more, but it’s not making any difference.

Jesus did not come to tell you how to just be the best version of yourself. He came to make you new. That’s what you long for, and that’s what God promises.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On the evening of March 29, 2023, two 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) helicopters crashed in Trigg County, Kentucky. The crew members, all members of C company 6-101 Aviation Regiment, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training mission when the incident occurred. All nine soldiers who were aboard the helicopters died in the crash. All were posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, and three soldiers were posthumously promoted in a memorial service and award ceremony held in Clarksville, Tennessee on April 13. The June Tribe WOD is in honor of these 9 soldiers.

Gone but never forgotten. Do this workout in honor of them.

Live each day as if you don’t have another
