Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”

We all come here daily, weekly, monthly or once upon a time, Specially this location has been once a week, as the iron has sharpened a mighty strong blade here it has allowed us to slice open the seems. This piece of iron has upheld the mission of F3, plant, serve, and grow. When this location was planted it only served a small group which has now grown and out grown our iron. 

As it says in Proverbs 20:4, “Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing” 

Clearly this group of HIM is not sluggards as harvest time has come here and there’s plentiful crop to carry into the next chapter…

Thank you to those who came, gritted it out, and have grown a bountiful crop of HIM

3rd F
Being a Man who Leads

In the Bible Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 11, where he says, “The man is the head of the woman…For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man, for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake. This is Paul upholding the concept of a man’s leadership in the family by appealing to the order of creation, and the fact that man was created first, then the woman as a helper to man. Later on in Ephesians Paul addresses a married man’s role as head of his own home. Paul establishes that God’s design is that the husband is “the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church”. Then the bible gives specific instructions on how husbands are to fulfill their leadership role, beginning with the important command: “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loves the church”.

Let’s think about the for a second. How much does Jesus love His church. This love would be described as a sacrificial, purifying, caring, unbreakable, Christ-like love. Christ’s love for the church is a model for husbands to follow, and is a living illustration of the redemptive love of Christ. One of the greatest act of love anyone could do for another is to sacrifice their own life for them. (Acts 20:28 – Christ purchased the church with His own Blood).

Now the question to ask is, if we are to love our wives with that same kind of love, how to we compare? Well, the answer is we all fall short, and we do not even come close. But that’s okay, because Christ has set the standard, so we now know where to aim.

Some more questions we could ask ourselves is:

How are we sacrificial in our own home?

Are we so self-focused that we are not aware of the needs in our home?

Are we willing to sacrifice our time to listen to & comfort our wives and provide emotional and physical security?

Who is the spiritual leader in the home?

If you are a Christian man, then you will recognize that success in your home is far more important than success in your career.

So when we leave here today, let’s note where it all begins, with the command, “Husbands, love your wives”.

C.H. Spurgeon said,

“A husband loves his wife with a constant love, and so does Christ his church. He will not cast her away tomorrow having loved her today. He does not vary in his affection. He may change in his display of affection, but the affection itself is still the same. A husband loves his wife with an enduring love; it will never die out. He says, “Tell death us do part will I cherish thee”, but Christ will not let death part his love to his people. Nothing shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

So gents, with that said, we now know God’s standard when it comes to being a Godly husband, a leader in our home, and a father to our children. Let’s use that in our life to better serve our family.

A Twisted Deck of Pain

Leave a comment

DATE: 22 JUNE 2022

QIC: Focker

YHC had his Virgin Q this morning! Thanks to the 17 HIMs who showed up for a record attendance at The Grit Mill! It meant a lot to have such good representation on my first Q. I decided to use fate and the F3 Workout Cards to assist me on the beatdown.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Disclaimer given
  • Moroccan Nightclub – 20 IC
  • Side Straddle Hob – 20 IC
  • Imperial Walker – 20 IC
  • Cherry Picker – 20 IC

Following the warm-o-rama we mosied to the parking lot at Arena’s and the PAX circled up around the speaker and workout cards.

THE THANG:

YHC broke out his new F3 Workout Cards for this beatdown. With the PAX circled around the cards about 15 feet from the deck of cards. Inspired by T-Rex using music for his beatdown, YHC brought a speaker to play 90’s alternative for the entire beatdown.

Everyone bear crawls to the center where YHC drew five cards for the first set and a different PAX was identified for the subsequent sets. Once cards were drawn, everyone crawl beared back their original position.

Call out for the exercises written on the cards as follows:

  • 2-10: card value + 10 reps for the exercise
  • Royals: 25 reps for the exercise
  • Ace: 50 reps of that exercise

At the completion of the set everyone bear crawls back to the deck for more cards.

Set breakdown:

SET ONE:

14 – Alternating Side Squats

25 – Freddie Mercury’s

12 – Bulgarian Split Squats

18 – Backward lunges

25 – Diamond Merkins

SET TWO:

13 – High, Slow Flutter Kick IC

17 – Monkey Humper

14 – Carolina Dry Dock

Bear crawl 15 feet, Crawl bear 15 feet

20 – Rosalitas

Conducted the 3RD F after the second set:

Continuing the theme of checking on each other and on the people in our lives with whom we haven’t spoken to in a while. YHC shared a personal story of how he was going through a difficult time in his life and felt alone and had received a special message to seek out Psalm 20.

Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.[b]
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory
and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.

6 Now this I know:
The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
Answer us when we call!

Two days later, YHC met a woman while performing his duties as a nurse, and she was the key to change the direction his life was going in and make everything right in his world. Continue to reach out to each other and to others in your life. You just may be the person to turn their life around for the better!

SET THREE:

16 – Jumping lunges

25 – Monkey Humper

17 – Derkins

18 – Luge

25 – American Hammers

SET FOUR:

14 – Heels to Heaven

20 – Butt Kicks

18 – Merkins

17 – Lil Baby Crunches

15 – Hand Release Merkins

SET FIVE:

Welcome to you all, we’re here to have a ball. This place is great, no matter your fate. Do what you can, but adapt your own plan if you need to. We don’t want you to turn blue, and surely you can’t sue. This is a place for HIM, not for the W-O-MEN. You are here on your own, well not really because you’re never alone. Let’s get this warmup started because I’m sure someone has already farted.

Warm up – Side Straddle hop (25), Lunges down parking lot and back, Rocking night club (25) , Cherry pickers (25)

Mosey to Calvary church to play 7 Diamonds

Round 1 – 7 Burpees at all four corners (mosey on long side and bear crawl short side between cones every time)

Round 2 – 14 (4) count flutter kicks at all four corners

Round 3 – 21 merkins at all four corners

3rd F – The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards. They either help us to become the best version of ourselves or encourage us to become lesser versions of ourselves. We become like our friends. No man becomes great on his own. No woman becomes great on her own. The people around them help make them great. We all need people in our lives who raise our standards, remind us of our essential purpose, and challenge us to become the best version of ourselves.

Round 4 – 28 squats at all four corners

Round 5 – 21 crunches at all four corners

Round 6 – Lunge to end of parking lot then jailbreak to side and lunge back up to beginning.

*Day 10 – LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL*

Do something out of the ordinary today for your spouse—something that proves (to you and to them) that your love is based on your choice and nothing else. Wash her car. Clean the kitchen. Buy his favorite dessert. Fold the laundry. Demonstrate love to them for the sheer joy of being their partner in marriage.

but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Gents pumping out 100 curls until arms are dead tired.

“Milk”, it does the body good!!!

Leave a comment

9/22/21 – QIC – MacDaddy.

One gallon of milk weighs 8lbs. So, why not grab two and do some high intensity training for the body.

With two, one gallon jugs in each hand, run from GritMil post to basketball court for 100 bi-cep curls.

For each exercise those who finish early do squat/shoulder press until the 6 are in.

Lunge walk to other end of B-ball court with jugs, then 100 shoulder presses.

Run with jugs to Mispillion River Walk Pedestrian Bridge for Lt Dan’s with squat/shoulder press across the bridge.

Rendezvous at the bocce ball court for 100 sumo squat/kettlebell swings or shoulder press.

NUR to other end of bocce ball court for 100 chest flys with feet 6″ above ground.

Run to Bicentennial Park Gazebo for 100 upright rows.

Break for 3rd F. Devotional on defining Faith and why is it so important.

Run back toward the GritMil stopping at the Mispillian road bridge to finish up with walking lunges to post parking lot.

F3 = Fitness, Fellowship, FAITH

Faith defined according to the dictionary: Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

Faith described in the bible can be found in Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen. 

Another way to look at this verse is the persevering hope in the promises of God. God cannot lie, it’s not in His nature. Basically, Faith is taking God at His Word.

After this verse the writer points out various examples of believers that demonstrated a real saving faith in God. Read Chapter 10 & 11 of Hebrews.

The Greek word for Faith in the New Testament is the word Pistis. The Greek Lexicon puts it as, The conviction of the Truth, and in relation to Christ: A strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God.

So, why is Faith so important?

The bible says that Faith in Christ is the only way to be saved, because it is only by faith in Christ that we can be counted righteous in God’s sight (Galatians 2:16). It is only by faith in Christ that we can be reconciled to God (Romans 5:9-11). It is only by faith in Christ that we can receive eternal life (John 3:16). Jesus is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).

So, how does faith work?

A, B, C’s of Salvation.

  1. A– ADMIT to God that you are a sinner.

Romans 3:23 – for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2. B – BELIEVE in Jesus Christ as God’s Son.

John 14:6 – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 3:16 – For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

3. C – CONFESS your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

Romans 10:9-10 – that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

See men, our 3rd F is more than just a belief in something. It is more than knowing that our brothers here will have our back. Society will even say faith is a sign of weakness. That it is a form of a crutch to get through life, But God says Faith is the most important aspect of our existence. It is by faith we will have reconciliation with a Righteous and Holy God, so that we will be with Him forever.

So, as we go throughout our day, we should all remember that God has freely given us the Gift of Salvation. We do not need to do anything to earn it, because Christ Jesus has already done the work for us.
