Ace of Bases VQ Beatdown

May 25, 2019 Doubtfire VQ

Warmup: 15 Flying Phelps, Butt Kickers around the fountain, 15 SSH, 15 Cherry Pickers, 15 Windmills

The Thang: Mosey to Little League Fields for Ace of Bases. Bear Crawl to each base and do 10 Bobby Hurley Burpees, Then Crawl Bear to each base and do 20 Merkins

3rd F Paul Tripp: The grand illusion of every act of sin is that we can be disloyal to God and everything will work out in the end.

We all do it sometimes and in some ways. In little and not so little moments of disloyalty to God, we work to excuse ourselves and convince ourselves that it will all be okay in the end. In private moments of moral self-conversation we say: “I can handle this, it will be okay.”, “I’ll only do it this once.”, “I really didn’t have much of a choice.”, “It’s not really such a big deal.”, “Other people do it all the time.”, “It’s not really clearly forbidden by the Bible.”, “What else could I do?”, “I just chose the lesser of two evils.”, “God is good, he’ll forgive me.”, “It’s not like I do this all the time.”, “Doesn’t God want me to be happy?”

Each statement is designed to relieve the burden of conviction. Each is meant to mask the reality that we have chosen to be disloyal to God, rebellious to his authority, and resistant to his call. Each is meant to cover the true allegiance of our hearts. Each is designed to enable us to feel okay about what God clearly says is not okay. Each is meant to make sin look not so sinful after all. Each is meant to ease our fear that sin really is destructive and that it rally does lead to death.

These are moments when we are all tempted to give in to the delusional logic of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. In the mundane moments of our daily lives, we buy into the fallacy that we can step over God’s loving and wise moral boundaries without consequences.. In myriad little moments, we’re morally disloyal to the One who is our wisdom, righteousness, and hope. And what’s important about this is that the character of a life isn’t set in three or four big moments of life, but in ten thousand little, virtually unnoticed moments. These acts of disloyalty expose the war that still rages for the rulership of our hearts and the depth of our ongoing need for rescuing and forgiving grace. Isn’t it good to know that that grace is ours in Christ Jesus!

Warm-O-Rama

Here’s the truth…QIC hit snooze and was late to his own beatdown. So, truth be told, the on-time PAX lead the Warm-O-Rama and I don’t have a clue what they did! Shoutout to the dozen PAX who extended grace for my tardiness and still followed my lead upon arrival!

Once QIC arrived, we got right to it w/ a “Friendly” Patriot Run to Milton Memorial Park

PAX rotated between 5 stations doing as many reps as possible for as many rounds as possible. Rotation happened when PAX running at station 5 completed their loop.

  3. Box Jump to Incline Merkin

3rd F

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
1 Peter 5:6‭-‬10 ESV
A good affirmation that you are not alone in your struggles. There is season for everything. God will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

F3 Message 05/07/19

Below are excerpts from the blog site ActiveChristianity.org by Brunstad Christian Church in reference to Forgiveness.

Forgiving others can be really difficult

“Forgiving others is important, but sometimes it can be really difficult to do. Why should I forgive, and how can I do it?

“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” Matthew 18:21-22.

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15.

Forgiving others who have wronged you, whether for a relatively small thing, or for a seriously damaging act against you, can sometimes seem like an insurmountably difficult thing to do. In some cases it’s a process that really takes time. Yet, the Bible is crystal clear on the necessity of it. And there are no caveats such as “unless,” “if,” or “but.” As in all things, we need to look to our Forerunner, Captain, and Master as our example.

“Father forgive them”

Christ suffered unrighteousness—even cruel unrighteousness. No one could have suffered more unrighteously than Christ. And some of the last words He ever uttered were: “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.” Is it easy? No. Is it impossible? “All things are possible to him who believes,” said Jesus. (Mark 9:23) All things.

And when you don’t have the power, when you know that it is not in you to forgive, then you have to find it in Christ. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:12-13. Does forgiving negate the pain you have suffered? Does it reverse the things that have happened to you? Does it mean the person who wronged you doesn’t have to take responsibility for his/her actions? No, but you will be free from the thoughts of hatred and bitterness and the burden they are. Forgiveness is not only done for the sake of the one you are forgiving, but for your own sake, so that you don’t have to live with the burden.

“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.” Malachi 4:2.

The fact that you forgive someone does not condone what they have done, nor does it by any means make it all right. Trust is not implicit in forgiveness, nor is forgetting obligatory. “Forgive and forget” is not a Biblical quote. It is one thing to be wary and aware, and another thing to hate and resent.

God is righteous

Ideally the one who has harmed you would repent and atone for what they’ve done as well. But make sure your healing is independent of that. You should forgive regardless of their attitude. Their sins are between them and God. It is right for someone to face up to the consequences of their actions according to earthlyRefers to everything of this earth, as opposed to heavenly things. Example: Earthly treasures/heavenly treasures. The earthly things pass away (are temporal), but the heavenly things are eternal. (Matthew 6:19-21;…authority and law, and they will also someday stand before God’s face and have to give account for their actions, and God is righteous above all else. But judgment and vengeance belong to God.

It is important to note that forgiveness is not a feeling, it is a choice. Choosing forgiveness will mean that you have to go to God on your knees for the power to forgive. It’s choosing not to let thoughts of hatred rule in your heart. It’s choosing to go to God to find help and comfort instead of dwelling on the past, even when our feelings would rather do anything but. The power we need for this we get from the Holy Spirit. Jesus, “when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously.” 1 Peter 2:23.

Draw near to God, and in His love you’ll find everything you need.”

Respectfully Submitted,

QIC: Chappie

YHC is a little behind the ball on getting this BB posted, but its better late than never. Last Thursday workout was brought to you by Bo Derek…i.e. 10 HIM won the first battle, struck down the fartsack, and posted for a Chappie beatdown. First we got in the Warm-O-Rama, then we mosey’d to the Post Office. YHC figured a federal building would be a the best place to workout on our nation’s National Day of Prayer. Here’s how it all went down…

Warm-O-Rama:

Disclaimer stumbled through

  • SSH – 18 IC
  • Cherry Pickers – 18 IC
  • Nipple Scraper Merkins – 5 OYO (remain planked)
  • Merkins – 10 IC
  • Seal Jacks – 18 IC

Patriot Run to the “oval track” in front of the Post Office. You gotta love running with Old Glory!

The Thang:

Once reaching at the Post Office, PAX circled up while YHC stationed two 40# sandbags (restrictor plates) at each end of the oval. PAX paired up and completed the following exercises. One rule: No one could pass a sandbag. If there was a sandbag in your lane around the oval, you had to carry it half-way around (opposite end). 3rd F was introduced, then shared at the end of each round. Since it was the National Day of Prayer, each portion was contained in a letter that volunteers opened and read amongst the PAX

Intro:

Exercises: (Partners switched back and forth until the accumulated reps was accomplished)

  • 100 Merkins
  • 200 Squat Jumps (side-to-side)…YOWZA!!
  • 300 American Hammers

Chattahoochee said something about Burpees, so…YHC shared the following, encouraging PAX to take some time to pray throughout the day. This was followed by the PAX doing Burpees while Chattahoochee ran the oval one last lap.

PAX collected the 2 sandbags, the shovel flag, and mosey’d back to the AO to return right on time – 0600hrs.

COT:

  • Announcements: Aegis closed Saturday, workout to be held at CHOP; Mystery Dinner at Milton Firehall Saturday evening 5-9, etc.
  • Prayers: Continued prayers for Brenda & Denny, Chairman’s mom & Dad; PRAYER FOR OUR NATION, not just today but especially today

BOM:

Great work by all the PAX, nothing but love expressed during those Jump Squats. Always appreciate the chatter! He, he! As always YHC was humbled and honored to lead.

~Chappie, out!

C’mon -Lewes is fun! EH the men!
