36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of
judgement for every empty word they have spoken.
For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will
be condemned.

It is not our duty to judge anyone. Everyone is guilty of it, but it does us no good in our lives. Try to catch yourself judging others and realize what you are doing, try to have something positive to say about the people you are judging.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Nothing extremely profound today. It was my final Q… for the month of January. February is a new month with a bunch of opportunities to step up and lead!
Over January I snagged a Q at each of the 7 Knoxville AOs. Getting out and working with men from all the areas of town was a real joy and privilege. If your AO’s slots get filled up, grab a Q or two at another AO. You’ll be glad you did!
MOLESKIN:
Apparently box jumps on the big rocks by the hill are deemed a bit risky by most of the PAX. Something about not wanting to fall down a cliff or something? I dunno. Some of them managed to not jump all the way over their rocks…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared how this time of the year for me at work is can be more stressful than normal and how I often times find myself complaining about my day to my wife. Being the amazing wife that she is she reminded me of how the Lord sends us blessings that the enemy will try to steal. I told the PAX how prevalent complaining is to people in our society and how it works to steal our motivation and drive to appreciate God’s blessings and to complete the things that God has planned for us. This is especially true in a group setting, one person starts complaining and it will spread like fire through the group robbing the group of its motvation to complete the task at hand.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Christmas was God’s most successful setback. He has always delighted to show his power through apparent defeat. He makes tactical retreats in order to win strategic victories.

Joseph was promised glory and power in his dream (Genesis 37:5–11). But to achieve that victory he had to become a slave in Egypt. And as if that were not enough, when his conditions improved because of his integrity, he was made worse than a slave: a prisoner.

But it was all planned. For there in prison he met Pharaoh’s butler, who eventually brought him to Pharaoh, who put him over Egypt. What an unlikely route to glory!

But that is God’s way — even for his Son. He emptied himself and took the form of a slave. Worse than a slave — a prisoner — and was executed. But like Joseph, he kept his integrity. “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow” (Philippians 2:9–10).

And this is God’s way for us too. We are promised glory — if we will suffer with him (Romans 8:17). The way up is down. The way forward is backward. The way to success is through divinely appointed setbacks. They will always look and feel like failure.

But if Joseph and Jesus teach us anything this Christmas it is this: “God meant it for good!”
