COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week a friend of mine from high school hit rock bottom. He was truly broken in all sense of the word. He is suffering from drug addiction and he is being treated at a facility as we speak. It is when we are broken that we can truly see the overwhelming love of God. We ignore or forget his gift when things are going our way and we “have no need” for God. But when your broken and then made new, you can truly appreciate Gods gift to us. Example of a light stick, breaking and then glowing.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
14 men got better today. Sharky was there but couldn’t find a tag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I am at my fittest in my life at 35. I couldn’t hang out here with these men in the shape I was 10 years ago. I was a defensive tackle in HS and a powerlifter. I found my first year of college that my body did not need as much fuel as before and I cut out sodas. I lost 70 lbs in about 6 months. My point is, you are never too old to make the little lifestyle changes to be the fittest you have ever been. Fitter, happier, more productive. 😉
MOLESKIN:
Football field was all locked up so no staph infections from the turf!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Two words I like and one I don’t:

Agreements, Posture, and Personality

 

Agreements:

Dan Allender says that an agreement agreeing with or engaging with the lies that we hear.  Typically these agreements are caused by a wound that we have received.

“This is how I live given then harm I have suffered.”

 

Some examples include:

“This is as good as it gets” Maybe that’s in your marriage, kids, job, etc

 

“If you only knew the things I have done, then you wouldn’t love me, like me, etc” “How could I ever really be forgiven” The result is that we withhold ourselves, we protect ourselves, ultimately making ourselves, our pain, our shortcomings our center and living out of those places rather than centering our lives around Christ

 

“I am in charge of my happiness, my choices, my life; its all up to me” We must fight against this life being all about ourselves. What it looks like: I am annoyed when my wife asks me to change a diaper because I think I need 5 minutes peace. Basically, I am at a deficit if I don’t get what I think I need and I get back to zero when I do. Instead of, the posture of ‘I will be provided for’.

 

“The more I do and/or the better I do, the more I’m worth.  I do therefore I am.” “If I live a certain way, I will be blessed.” “I perform, therefore I am loved.”

Instead of, something has been done for me that I could not do for myself.  Where I could not get what I need, God made a way and provided for me. This allows me to live free and in a different way. This is a posture. This is the intended posture made possible by Christ.

 

Many times we blame ‘personality’ for our relational blunders.  We excuse ourselves or others because of their ‘personality’ when in fact it is our posture towards the world, ourselves or God that causes us to respond in the ways that we do.

 

Consider your agreements this week, what is the truth and what are the lies you are believing.  Consider your posture toward yourself, others, and God.
