Strive for authenticity.  Strive to be a HIM and do the things we talk about during the BOM, don’t just listen and let no application take root in your life.

James 1:22-25, “But be doers of the word and not hearers only…the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works — this person will be blessed in what he does.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Reflecting on encouragement from Jesus in Matthew 7 to remove the log in our own eye to better serve our brothers who need help with a speck in theirs… encouraged the PAX to set goals, share them with others, and then measure their success or failure to achieve.  We all need to strive to progress in our fitness, fellowship, and faith and we all need accountability to help us along the way.
