Be a Lion pt. 4

"Joy is a young sister, singer by title
She's on her Paula Abdul, she left American idols."

Hebrews 12:1-3

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted."

Be a Lion pt. 3

Marco is a trainer, he's training Raheem
He is teaching him to be a man in and out the ring.

Titus 2: 2, 6-8, & 10

"Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness...

Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us...

showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior."

Publicity

Earlier this year a group of girls invited me to contribute to a BLOG they wanted to start.

We've been posting for nearly 3 months now and I'm still being blessed by what the Lord lays on each of our hearts.

Every now and then I'll probably send you over there for a specific post.

For now, I just wanted to make you aware of this new venture.

If you go over, do me a favor and leave a comment!

Look on the side-bar and you'll see that we've each made a post introducing ourselves.

It's Been a While...

...Since I've posted a list.

• Yesterday was Mother's Day. The wind stopped and the sun was shining, so we enjoyed a game of badminton!

• This morning I'm in the mood for some homemade biscuits....We're out of milk so that will have to wait.

• I'll benefit from all of the gifts my Mom received yesterday.

• Tonight, we're gathering in the family room with a friend for a movie and milkshakes!!! I'm very excited about this.

• The sermon I heard on Sunday not only exhorted mothers and fathers to serve the Lord and train their children to do likewise, it also explained what it really means to HONOR something (especially mothers and fathers).

• God has brought me to a place where He's reminded me of what is really important and given me the insight to strive after those things.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness...

Matthew 6:33

• I don't really know much about this singer....but I recently discovered that I really like this song.

Be a Lion pt. 2

"Raheem is a boxer, he's beaten the best;
But the hardest fight is when he is daily fighting flesh."

Romans 8:12-17

"So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh or to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him."
