CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I love one specific part in the Bible story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, when the king gives them one last chance to bow down to his idol, and they tell him that God is able to save them from the furnace—“but if not”—if He doesn’t, they still are going to choose to follow God.

They beautifully show two companion principles that we each have to learn to balance—focused faith in Jesus Christ and complete submission to His will.

May we follow the perfect example of Jesus Christ as He prayed in Gethsemane “Not My will, but Thine be done.”  May our prayers help lift our hearts and desires to be in line with what God wants for us, for He loves us perfectly and knows what we need to experience to become our best selves.

There will be Blood on the Dodgeball court

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Men, protecting your wife and children–and others -is not a tiny little part of your Christianidentity. That’s your job title, your burden, yourcalling. That’s on your business card: protector of those God has given me. That’s who you are, men (see Eph. 5:22-33; 1 Cor. 16:13).
You may never have been told this. You may never have been trained in this. You may have no idea in yourself how to do this. You may fear this. You may think you are insufficient for this. It matters not. All that matters is who God has made you to be and
called you to be. You are weak, yes, but God makes you strong. His grace is sufficient and proven in your weakness (2 Cor. 12:9). Your life, therefore, is not about you lying on the ground, moaning about how weak you are, celebrating your failure, and lashing out at anyone who would charge you to get
up off the ground. Your life is about asking God to make you stronger, and then you going out and living in that strength.
Divine grace makes you protect women, children, and the endangered, men. Go and do it. FIGHT for your loved ones. STAND for God’s truth. Don’t accept defeat. Claim the grace of God in Christ, repent when you fail as we all do, and fight still more. Fight, and then fight again, and then after that keep on fighting.
NEVER STOP

MOLESKIN:
We learned that some of the guys at the equalizer have some pretty good moves.

1 Corinthians 15:3–4

[3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, (ESV)

Only one thing can be of first importance. Let’s make sure the gospel (that Christ lived, died, and was raised for our salvation) is what is of first importance in our lives today.
