CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Commitment has been on my mind this week. With the cold weather and even some rain you guys showed up ready to encourage and be there for each other. 

We are very lucky to have such a committed group of high impact men. 

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.” Kenneth Blanchard

“Commitment in the face of conflict produces character.” Anonymous

 Motivation is what gets you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.” Jim Rohn

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflecting on the battle of Thermopylae and brave Spartans that stood in the gap to fend off the fierce Persian army.  Encouraged the PAX to consider their battles and importance of being prepared for the spiritual warfare going on around them.  Whether it is the battle for integrity when alone in front of a computer or the need for battle on our knees for our families and community, God’s Word and Prayer are our best weapons.  The battle is coming, so we must be ready to fight.

Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron”… F3 is a great training ground to prepare for the frontline battles we will definitely face.
