COT/BOM
Stay in the fight!
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
– 1 Peter 5:8-10

Each day we face a battle.  What makes it tricky is that it isn’t a physical battle, but a battle in our mind and hearts.  It’s easy to get complacent and put our minds on autopilot, and that is exactly what our enemy wants.  Each day we must “resist” and stand “firm” against his attacks.  The key is to recognize that we don’t fight this battle alone!  We have brothers around us who are ready to lock shields and pursue righteousness with us.  It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Never doubt in the dark what God has told you in the light.” – The Purpose Driven Life

It’s easy to feel like we’re growing in our faith when things are going well in our lives, but it’s also easy to revert back to our old selves when we’re “in the dark” or struggling through tough times. Those difficult circumstances/situations are the times that test our faith. And through the testing of our faith comes spiritual growth. The Word is Truth – in the light and in the darkness.

FISH ON! As we grow, its about getting more FNGs out to join F3. That does not mean your all over the sadclown with lots of pessure to join us. Sometimes, its just throwing the line out from time to time, let the sadclown swim around the bait for a while. Eventually a sadclown gets hungry and takes the bait! Once hooked, reel them in and keep them!
