CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about suffering.  I’ve had several people I’ve been walking with who are going thru some serious suffering.  Seems like we all know people in our life who are in the midst of it.  You just have to live long enough and you will suffer.

I’ve been reading thru Job.  Reminded the guys about Satan coming to God, God pointing out Job, and Satan’s accusation that Job is ONLY worshipping God because of how much God has blessed him.  So, God allows Satan to take away those blessings and Job enters probably the most extreme suffering known on earth.  Job’s faith was being tested to see if it was genuine.  Was he worshipping God for the gifts God had given him or because God was God?

Job said — “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

The test of suffering is coming to each one of us, and we probably have friends walking thru it right now.  Let’s come alongside them, pray and encourage them, and bless the name of the Lord.

Simple, effective and together

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God forgives. We should also.  I gave an example of a television show my wife and I were watching about how a woman was able to forgive another woman for some very evil things that she did to her. How many times have we needed forgiveness from God and he immediately forgives us if we trust and ask through him. How selfish can it be for us to not forgive someone who hurts us.
MOLESKIN:

Welcome FNG Stretch! Great work by the PAX this morning. I was definitely feeling tired this morning and honestly felt like sleeping in but I’m always glad I don’t.  The energy and fellowship kept me going.

You therefore must be perfect , as your Heavenly Father is perfect
MOLESKIN:
The Bible verse above popped up as my nightly verse. I read it and immediately thought …how can I be perfect like god ? Impossible !! It’s a common verse but took me by surprise. I opened the verse to read the rest of the chapter. Love your enemies and pray for those that prosecute you. This world is full of hate and we need to turn that around for the good. What a better way to do it , than with F3 and the positive impact it has had in Knoxville.
