CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Dredd’s blog The Collision Learner and Chapter Five from Minivan Centurion Good Drivers
“If a guy cuts you off in traffic, you can take that as “drop dead” and respond in kind. Or you can just assume that he is a bad driver and keep driving reasonably. If you choose the former, that means that you too become a bad driver and may provoke another negative response from him. A good driver wouldn’t do that because it might disrupt him from getting to his destination safely, which is the whole purpose in driving, to get where you are going in one piece.”
With your goals, don’t let the bad change you in a way that could keep you from where you want to end up.

2Tim 4:3-5
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of “influencers” self-proclaimed experts, and other current events that seek to take our eyes off of sound doctrine, stay focused on God’s Word and truly test what you hear in the media, online, or at the water cooler to make sure it lines completely up to the Word of God.

If What If, by Tony and Daniel Myles.

Sometime in the near future your family will all need to be somewhere at a certain time.  It will require nothing short of pure hustle as you all get ready to leave, because while everyone seems to be moving in that direction, they will also get distracted.  This will become a moment of glory for someone who is willing to step up and rally everyone else to “move it”

God invited Abram into His revolution with a command to move his family to a new land along with a promise that all nations would be blessed through them.  Keep in mind that in Abram’s era, people worshiped idols they’d made.  So, having the true God speaking to him was a new thing.  In response to God, the Bible says, “Abram went” (v.4). Abram without hesitation chose rapid obedience to God instead of arguing back.  Although Abram later had moments where his trust in the Lord dipped, this was a great moment we can celebrate and learn from.

You and your family have that same opportunity to respond with rapid obedience to whatever God asks you to do. Don’t “get around to it later” or think that someone else will do it for you.  Growth is all about you purposefully moving beyond what’s familiar and into the unknown.

Choose to be courageous by stepping into these life-changing moments without a guarantee of how everything will turn out.  God’s revolution is more about putting our faith in Him than in circumstances anyway.  Just as He moved you in one way in the past, let Him keep moving you in other ways.  By moving we become a movement….so move it.

16 men willing to do the leg work.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been studying church organization/leadership and one thing that I keep coming back to in everything I read is that we still have responsibility for ourselves. Yes, there are men elected to roles of leadership and charged with overseeing the congregation, but we ourselves still retain responsibility. We need to recognize that responsibility and not forsake it. Take the talents that God has given you and use them for good works.

Luke 12:48b – “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”

“My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”

James 5:19‭-‬20 NASB

There is so much in the book of James. This particular passage points to our responsibility to turn back an erring brother from sin. Of course, we ourselves are only helping to point out the error in their life. God will provide forgiveness.  Note that if they need to be turned back, that means that they once were in the truth. Not only do we have the responsibility to help correct, but we have to have the humility to accept correction as well. Be willing to face your brother one-on-one. No gossip but straight to the source.
