CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Faith and Committment

In Soren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling, the story of the sacrifice of Isaac is retold in multiple versions. Each is to suggest doubt on the part of Abraham. His point is that faith requires in some respect an irrational element. Upon reading this and reflecting, I thought about commitment and decision making. In reference to La-Z-Boy, if I am not wholly committed to something, then it is a faulty commitment. In other words, if you make a decision or commitment, you must fully own it.

 

La-Z-Boy once said, “If it’s not yes, then I answer no.”

 

So, commit and own your decisions.

BOM :
Heard this song and the lyrics really let me know the extent of Gods love for us.
Reckless Love lyrics
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
……the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
…..it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
……I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God.
Moleskin: Welcome FNG Walkman to the pax! He was run-by EH by a couple of us during the TTTP, saw the shirts and looked us up online.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ps. 37:4 – “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart”.

Sounds great. “God’s gonna give me everything I want!” But that’s not what it says. He will give you the desires of your heart. His desires for you will be planted in your heart, such that they become your desires. These are his best for you, and these are what He will fill!

MOLESKIN:
I posted a poll last night to see who was interested in a swimming leg for today’s beatdown. Can’t say I was surprised by the responses to the negative, but also just a hair disappointed. That cool water woulda felt good this morning…
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Lunch this Thursday… It’s gonna happen! Also don’t forget F3-Versary first weekend in November.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Two kinds of wisdom…

“If you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  Such “wisdom” does not come from heaven but us earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure; peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peace makers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” -James 3: 14-18

With starting school we try to teach my son to use wisdom when picking/making friends.  But in my life I have struggled with wisdom of selfishness.  So I encourage each of you to be 3rd.  God 1st, Everyone else 2nd, I am 3rd.

MOLESKIN:
The PAX worked extremely hard, especially considering this was a Q with no moseying and no breaks.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I encourage you brothers to go!  Find an adventure!  Do big what you don’t know or haven’t done before.

Don’t be like me – stuck in the familiar; losing my sense of adventure; forgetting the joy and power adventure brings to life.

Be “Wild at Heart” as John Eldredge describes it.

….and share it (the adventure and your wildness) with your loved ones and kids.

….so they won’t forget – your adventures together and how to be wild at heart themselves.
MOLESKIN:
Be in prayer for @Slide Rule and his family, as the Lord called his mother home this week.
