ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Discussion on Matthew 25:35-36
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Today was the first day I looked at that verse not just literally in providing support to those in need, but now looking at it figuratively, in those who struggle with knowledge and love of the Lord. Those who are thirsty and longing to be fed the Good News. Also those who are in prison to sin and being there to provide support and calling ourselves out of sin.

COT: Several weeks ago, during Caveman’s COT you shared a health regimen that works really well for you: daily vitamin, creatine, magnesium, zinc, fish oil, ashwaganda, etc.

I Tim 4:8
“Keep yourself in training for a godly life. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future.”

What spiritual exercises work really well for you?

How can you be as intentional with your spiritual fitness as you are with your physical fitness?

How can you be as intentional with your relationship with God as you are with your other most important relationships?

Mosey back to COT

COT:
I’m terrible at listening. It’s not intentional, but I truly struggle being completely present when someone else is talking. I have to almost give an F3 disclaimer when having a conversation with someone (“if I miss something you say…”) and I have to be very intentional to focus on others.

I went into banking a few years ago and that’s not the best place to be if you’re not a good listener. People are telling you very personal and sensitive details about their lives. I was only there a couple of years and I learned a lot but today’s culture calls so many to anything but listening. Not only to listen but knowing when to be silent. Does anyone listen anymore?

God has a lot to say about this;

“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”
‭‭-James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV

“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.

A fool’s lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating.

A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul. If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame.”
‭‭- Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭2‬, ‭6‬-‭7‬, ‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

My challenge today is Who can we invite for coffee, lunch, a beer, and just listen? Make it all about them and see what kind of response you get. It’ll make their day and you’ll shine some much needed light.

Ping!

COT: The spirit of God is indwelling within us. It is as if God’s pure spirit drifts into our pores. Wrap you mind around that concept, of the spirit of God being within you. When I think upon it, it certainly leads me to desire to be a High Impact Man. Sometimes I feel so far away from the Spirit of God. I feel sluggish, like one feels when they wake up first thing in the morning. I might drink a fine cup of coffee and when I do, I can feel my brain cells start waking up. It’s like ping, ooh that felt good, that braincell just came alive, ping, things are getting a little clearer, ping, yeah, I am starting to get the picture. If I picture the Spirit of God within me, it’s like that good coffee waking me up. Ping, yeah, I can help my fellow man, ping, I’m going to put a smile on my face today, ping, I’m gonna tell my wife how much I love her, ping, I’m going to help that older man get up the curb, ping, I’m going to get involved in a service project, ping, I’m going to make someone’s day brighter today.
My message: wrap your mind around the Spirit of God working within you. Try to picture it and see what it does for you. Picture God’s holiness, purity and strength within you. You might just feel God sinking into your pores and waking up your brain cells. And when that happens, it’s a mighty good thing.
