Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.12.2.ESV

MOLESKIN: 

Your day is either won or lost in the mind. One of the fundamental messages of the New Testament is transformation. Everyone in Christ is a new creation! “The old has gone, the new is here!”

 

Why, then, aren’t we all experiencing transformed lives?

 

I’ve met so many Christians who have given up on the idea of truly changing. They’ve tried and tried. They’re sincere and committed to Christ, but Christianity is “not working” for them.

 

Spiritual fatigue. Your faith has stalled. You’re stuck, not growing, and out of energy.

Spiritual frustration. You can’t seem to overcome some private sin or maintain spiritual discipline.

Spiritual exhaustion. You keep trying to pray more, read the Bible more, serve more, worship more, but it’s not making any difference.

Jesus did not come to tell you how to just be the best version of yourself. He came to make you new. That’s what you long for, and that’s what God promises.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On the evening of March 29, 2023, two 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) helicopters crashed in Trigg County, Kentucky. The crew members, all members of C company 6-101 Aviation Regiment, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training mission when the incident occurred. All nine soldiers who were aboard the helicopters died in the crash. All were posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, and three soldiers were posthumously promoted in a memorial service and award ceremony held in Clarksville, Tennessee on April 13. The June Tribe WOD is in honor of these 9 soldiers.

Gone but never forgotten. Do this workout in honor of them.

Live each day as if you don’t have another

Memory Card Game. Q placed two sets of cards arranged in a 5×4 square. Each Card has a workout designed. PAX split into teams and played the memory card game. If they flip over two cards that match they preform the exercise then run to the end of the lot and remove those from the board. If they don’t match then they preform both exercises, run to the end of the lot. Flip them over and try again.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reading a book called “Comfort in Crisis”. Talks about how the body and spirit improve by doing really hard challenging physical tasks. Made me wonder if the same benefit could come from doing the difficult things spiritually. Praying when you seem way to busy, bringing the lord up to someone who doesn’t want to hear it, showing grace to someone you really don’t necessarily like.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

That was a hard thing gentlemen. THANK YOU FOR GIVING YOUR ALL. Most men are still asleep waiting to face the day. You have already went to battle and won. The COT today is brought to you by the Apostle Paul.

Key verse Eph 5:20

Eph 5:18  And do not get drunk with wine, for that is excess, but be filled with the Spirit,

Eph 5:19  speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

Eph 5:20  always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

Eph 5:21  and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.

It’s easy to have a melody in your heart singing to the Lord when things are all good, but when things go wrong our flesh desires to rebel. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of your situation, thank the Lord for your trials and trouble.

I love the closing thought in verse 21 as well. How do we as brothers ensure that we are holding this standard of giving thanks to the Lord? Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. That’s accountability right there. That’s why F3 exists to be a helper for your brothers.

Rom 8:35  Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:36  Just as it is written, “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG; WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”

Rom 8:37  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Give thanks to Him for the good, for the bad, for the mundane, for the Joy. He alone is worthy. THANK YOU LORD.

MOLESKIN:
This was a repeat of my VQ, still an honor to Q at Rampart. Looking forward to many more.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“The Big Lie in the church today is that you are nothing more than ‘a sinner saved by grace’. – John Eldredge

C.S. Lewis cautions us against the words “just” or “merely”, because they serve to exclude other possibility. To be ‘just’ saved by grace is to remain a helpless infant. You are purposed to be much more. Humanity was created in the image of God so that we would become rulers of creation. To be saved is to gain access to the energizing Spirit of the Creator of heaven and earth, but it does you no good if you don’t choose to draw from it. And the Lord delights when you rely on Him for your power.

If I fail to use my chance to grow strong from the Source, I am the least of those who suffer because of it. There is no one to fill your place in the battle line. Every man who chooses comfort or apathy or fear is a gap in the bulwark. Will the enemy win because of my lack? We are certain the answer is a resounding “NO”. But the Lord does not coddle us with irresponsibility. He respects our agency by allowing real consequences. So be assured that your choice will be respected, and all that comes with it.
MOLESKIN:
Not a huge divergence from my original plan, but definitely a little tricky to adapt to the weather, which totally surprised me.
