COT:
Shared a story from my childhood, an influence I had as a young boy. My grandmother’s husband (Floyd – not my grandfather) grew up a roughneck and experienced much brokenness, into his adult years. He ultimately came to faith in Christ via an old friend from high school, John “The Bull” Bramlett (look him up). John was an All American baseball and football player, known as the “Meanest Man in Football”. He went on to play for the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. He also had his troubles as an abuser of drugs, alcohol, women, etc.

John also gave his life to Christ in his later years and became a lay evangelist in Memphis, TN, sharing the gospel. Another neat side note is that he and Floyd lived in the same neighborhood and were also friends with Elvis Presley. Floyd once shared a photo of him and John, with Elvis, from their younger years (before Elvis became famous).

Floyd was always sharing Jesus with me and made it clear that by putting my faith in him, I would be saved and have eternal life with Him. Will remember his words and also watching Billy Graham preach on TV with him.

God works things out in ways we never see coming and never can always figure out. “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

COT:
Continuing with the theme of reflecting what you believe. There should be a direct correlation between your Faith and what you Practice / What you believe vs how you behave.

In the short book of Titus, Paul is teaching his coworker about ministry leadership but I think these words can also apply to us today, as it relates to being a follower of Jesus or even a member of F3. Both groups are called to be different from the world around us.

“For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

He then goes on to talk about teaching sound doctrine, which for us is also the mark of a good leader. Truth grounded in something bigger than us. And, as only truth can be, grounded in God’s word…

“Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬

As you leave here today, be mindful, curious, thoughtful, compassionate, forgiving. Be a blessing and not a headache today.
