Trusting trumps trying because a man obtains grace through faith alone, not by his works. But once set free he finds that he cannot lay dormant—he will want to show others that they too can unlock the door of their cell and walk in freedom.

"Men with two children had an estimated brain age that was 0.6 years younger than their childless peers had, and for men with three children, it was 0.7 years younger. That’s similar to the brain benefit associated with exercising 2.5 hours a week." https://t.co/28mz6llyyp
Sometimes I think we are broken right now as a country. To heal, we need to find a way to have grace.
If Graham Platner and all of you can find a way to build that redemption through this campaign, this transformation, maybe it can show a way for this country to redeem itself.
“The last person to trust with power is someone who is dying to have it. The best person to wield power is someone who is reluctant to do so, but who will do it for a while as a civic duty.”
— Thomas Sowell
A bully bullies because he has low self-confidence and he has to lower you while a mentor may use similar tactics however his goal is to raise you up. #IntentMatters
The cure for self doubt is not self help, it’s not self-confidence, it's not self at all. The soul finds freedom and rest when its trust and confidence is placed not in itself, but in Christ.
Any man that takes an honest look at himself will be humbled and his jackassery leaves him. When that moment takes place, he is on his way to becoming a peacemaker able to withstand the tension of the middle. The middle is exactly where men of virtue and integrity need to be.
The lie: "My past disqualifies me."
The truth: Your past is the only thing
that qualifies you to lead someone through it.
The scars are the credential.

Goo, the theory of unlimited, universal happiness, winces and retracts at the idea of the purposeful introduction of suffering. This is because of it’s underlying premises:
- Happiness > Joy
- Happiness is only bestowed by external forces
- There is no value in learning and developing virtue, that Joy may become intrinsic, only in employing gelatinous emotions to ooze toward a world that is only in service to one’s self

Most men never stop planning. Not because the plan isn't ready. Because they aren't. ⚔️
The PONR isn't just a military concept. It's a leadership discipline.
⏸️ Plan sufficiently.
▶️ Then commit fully.
A medium plan violently executed beats a perfect plan every time. 🎯

Who in your life is actually stretching you right now? 👀
"You have to look for those people that you aspire to be like, that you admire — and that stretches you. You don't grow in your comfort zone. You have to be stretched."

Many men get to a certain age or station in life and wonder “what’s next for me?”
It is to come down from the peak you’ve attained and show another man the way. Then repeat for eternity. Passing knowledge and skills down is the key to continuing to become the man you are called to be.
@F3Nation
@dreddcnc The difference between a bully and a mentor is a bully lacks confidence so he bullies to bring you down while a mentor may use similar tactics with the goal of elevating you to his level or better.

•God’s covenant faithfulness grounds resurrection.
•Resurrection is transformation, not resuscitation.
•Misreading Scripture and underestimating God’s power go together.
•Love of God and love of neighbor aren’t two ranked items. The second flows from and expresses the first.
•Understanding the command correctly is not the same as entering the kingdom.
•After v. 34, the questioners fall silent and Jesus begins asking his own questions.
