Check your Pride
Pride is often the route cause of conflict and it is important to be aware of it.
I have recently reflected on conflicts with my wife and have seen that my pride often is to blame.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve got some friends I’m very close to, that are suffering right now. A lot of it’s self inflicted (addiction, alcohol, etc…) but they’ve reached out recently.

How do you handle that?

I’m trying to be a HIM a spiritual gangster. Like you guys! I pray for them multiple times a day. I try to get them involved with F3 (where they live). I ask them to serve food at a rescue ministry. I try to get them to count blessings and not your mistakes.

They have a lot going on for them, super talented, but don’t feel like it right now.

You might feel that way too. It’s OK. Know you are loved . I love you. More importantly God loves you.

Booster recently posted, “You can sit with me at church…”

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
“and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:23 -24

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Dredd’s blog The Collision Learner and Chapter Five from Minivan Centurion Good Drivers
“If a guy cuts you off in traffic, you can take that as “drop dead” and respond in kind. Or you can just assume that he is a bad driver and keep driving reasonably. If you choose the former, that means that you too become a bad driver and may provoke another negative response from him. A good driver wouldn’t do that because it might disrupt him from getting to his destination safely, which is the whole purpose in driving, to get where you are going in one piece.”
With your goals, don’t let the bad change you in a way that could keep you from where you want to end up.

 

MOLESKIN:

2Tim 4:3-5
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of “influencers” self-proclaimed experts, and other current events that seek to take our eyes off of sound doctrine, stay focused on God’s Word and truly test what you hear in the media, online, or at the water cooler to make sure it lines completely up to the Word of God.

If What If, by Tony and Daniel Myles.

Sometime in the near future your family will all need to be somewhere at a certain time.  It will require nothing short of pure hustle as you all get ready to leave, because while everyone seems to be moving in that direction, they will also get distracted.  This will become a moment of glory for someone who is willing to step up and rally everyone else to “move it”

God invited Abram into His revolution with a command to move his family to a new land along with a promise that all nations would be blessed through them.  Keep in mind that in Abram’s era, people worshiped idols they’d made.  So, having the true God speaking to him was a new thing.  In response to God, the Bible says, “Abram went” (v.4). Abram without hesitation chose rapid obedience to God instead of arguing back.  Although Abram later had moments where his trust in the Lord dipped, this was a great moment we can celebrate and learn from.

You and your family have that same opportunity to respond with rapid obedience to whatever God asks you to do. Don’t “get around to it later” or think that someone else will do it for you.  Growth is all about you purposefully moving beyond what’s familiar and into the unknown.

Choose to be courageous by stepping into these life-changing moments without a guarantee of how everything will turn out.  God’s revolution is more about putting our faith in Him than in circumstances anyway.  Just as He moved you in one way in the past, let Him keep moving you in other ways.  By moving we become a movement….so move it.
