SELF-CONTROL

The verse of the week: “Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The emphasis was on being self-controlled. Self-control or self-controlled is used 13 times in the Bible, once in the Old Testament and twelve in the New Testament. Seems to be a pretty important virtue for the believer not to mention it’s one of the fruits of the Spirit “Galatians 5:23”. All you have to do is look around and you’ll notice that most people are striving for self-entitlement and self-gratification. Being Self-controlled  is a choice, it’s not something that just happens. It’s making small choices in a positive direction day after day until it becomes habit. Rinse and Repeat!

COT:

Prayer request: Sparky’s nephew, SA’s daughter and family, our community and those on the front line.

Thanks once again for the opportunity to lead!

All the men present and absent.

If I missed any sorry, but the Lord knows all our prayer request and needs!

I shared 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬. I talked about how we believers in Christ are a new creation and not the same man we were before our Precious Savior pulled us from the grips of hell and if we are living or giving ourselves to sin it’s not who we are now and we’re actually living against our new nature and that is where distress, depression, and anxiety comes from. If we truly believe and understand our new identity in Christ and what that means then nothing this life throws at us will cause us to stumble.

Brothers, thanks for another opportunity to lead and grow!

Wichita out… on to the next one

MERKINS GALORE

So Gumby has been slammed at work, and hesitantly gave up his Q for Thursday and since YHC didn’t get on the calendar for June he thought here’s your chance and he jumped. Thanks Pappy for letting me fill in! But filling Gumby’s shoes is no easy task and after Roundup’s beatdown Tuesday and Sister Acts beatdown coming Saturday YHC didn’t want to disappoint. So I thought what doesn’t get used at Folsom and trees is what came to my mind…

LOOK FORWARD

Some HIM’s worked on breathing exercises by running.

Verse of the week:

Philippians 3:14   I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.  ESV

So what is the upward call of God in Christ Jesus? That call is our Sanctification or being molded more into the image of Christ. It’s impossible to be become more like Jesus when we’re looking in the rear view mirror of our lives, whether  we’re looking and dwelling on past sin we committed, or that was committed against us, or reveling in our past accomplishments or “mountain top experiences”… either way, looking back and not looking up to Christ will lead to defeat.

Prayer Requests:

Our Nation, Our Leaders, Police Officer’s and First Responders, Mayor’s Wife, SA’s daughter and family, RoundUps Wife and Family

Thanks men for the opportunity to lead!

THE THREE AMIGOS

As I approached the parking lot it looked very lonely, no pax could be seen. I parked got out and seen headlights in the distance. Who could it be but Volt and then more headlights I was getting excited because it was about to go down! The BEATDOWN and I wasn’t going to endure it all by myself! It was Stogie! The other two amigos had to leave at 6 so I finished out OYO. In the imaginary COT I formed I reminded myself of the verses of the week: Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13, ESV) and prayed the verse over all the Hims of F3 Gastonia. So 5:30 hit and we circled up.

THANKS for allowing me to lead, and as always it was an honor

BIRTHDAY BEATDOWN

YHC rolled in about 6:20 to a full parking lot, some were there for EC. SUESS, SA, and ROUND UP. Guess they thought the VQ may bring a JV workout but from the chatter earlier in the week and having your VQ at FOLSOM The Premier Saturday AO in the region you must bring your A game. So we circled up and partook of the Second F for a few minutes which was good, just what the VQ needed before 6:30 hit.

 

6:30 Time to punch the clock

warm up:

SSH x20

GP x20

MNC x3

During the warm up there were some concerned PAX wondering where SPARKY  was. No need to worry, he showed at 6:32, just in time to mosey. Rock Pushers don’t need a warm up. They just show and go! To the first light pole we moseyed and did 10 burpees, on to the second light pole 10 more burpees, at the third light pole the chatter started when the VQ called 10 more burpees.There’s four light poles from the parking lot to the flag pole so you guessed it 10 more burpees. Finally made it to the flag pole and did three more burpees and said the PLEDGE. If you were counting that’s 43 burpees and if you read the name of this backblast you probably concluded it was the VQ’S birthday and he turned 43, if not reread and you’ll connect the dots.

The BEATDOWN:

10 Burpees at every light pole from parking lot to flag pole and 3 Burpees at the flag

Mosey to concrete steps/seats – not far-

Dips IC x20

Step Up’s IC x20

Derkins IC x20

for 2rounds

move to the horse track:

Four stops around the track

Stop one 10 BURPEES

Stop two 20 LBC’S

Stop three 30 MERKINS

Stop four 40 SQUATS

  •  4 ROUNDS –

Mosey to the steps above stables -again not far-

PARTNER UP

P1- Big Boy Sit Up’s AMRAP

P2- Hip Slappers x10

P1- Imperial Squats AMRAP

P2- Australian Mountain Climbers x10

BOTH FOR 2 ROUNDS

Finished up with a INDIAN BURPEE RUN back to the parking lot. – the long way-

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

ROOSTER    Feb.29

BE TRAINING FOR THE P200 – For those participating and if you’re not participating be training anyway!

COT:

YHC shared the verse of the week: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (thanks Def Leppard for leading and a great word that morning!) and spoke about how it doesn’t matter how much of a man we may think we are if we’re not leading and serving out of love then we’re not REAL men at all. YHC probably said other things but that was the most important.

PRAYERS:

Sparky’s M, Suess and all those in the educational system, all of our 2.0’s, and  Stogies dad and family.

 

It was truly an honor to lead you men, thanks for the opportunity! And I t was great motivation just knowing wether the VQ  banged it or bombed it y’all had his back.

Oh yeah…. Great Work Men! And remember as men we don’t have the option to punch out and take time off. WE’RE ALWAYS ON THE CLOCK!

YHC is on to the next one

 

 

FAMILY WORSHIP/DISCIPLESHIP

Ephesians 6:4 is the verse for the week.

“Fathers,  do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”

All threw the Bible God makes it clear that it’s the mans responsibility to lead/shepherd or pastor his family. With statistics showing that 75%-85% of kids that grew up in church leave the faith after only one semester of college, then something must be missing. If their only getting a couple of hours a week at best of Bible teaching at church and very little if any at home it’s not the churches fault. Just like the first F in F3, if we only post once a week do we really expect to improve our fitness? So it is if with family worship, if we go at it aimlessly without intentionality there will be very little if any growth spiritually in our families.  Men  we will have to answer for how well we shepherd. This is our greatest calling, not how good our kids are at sports, how smart they are, or how popular they are. These things are not bad in and of themselves but if we place more emphasis on them than we do our own personal holiness and leading them to the Cross of Christ then we have failed them.God never commanded any of us to raise the next Kobe Bryant, Derek Jeter, or a super star athlete or scholar or to have their on hunting and fishing show. No, He commanded us to teach his word to our children DILIGENTLY! Deut. 6-6:7.

Men let’s fight for our families, because the devil sure is!

Men I pray for you all daily and thanks for letting me lead!
