Mole Skin:
F3 does not subscribe to any particular faith but does ask you to believe in something or someone higher than yourself and that you respect the leading of the days Q. I am a Christian and I will be leading as such.
This morning I want to talk about something that has been on my heart for a couple of weeks. And I say this with a lot of caution because I am not perfect and am a work in progress and do not want this to be seen as judgmental but as iron sharpens iron.
I want to talk about sanctification. Sanctification is the ongoing process of us becoming more like Christ. It is the act of sanctifying or making holy; in theology, the act of God's grace by which the affections are purified and the soul is cleansed from sin and consecrated to God.
While it starts with Justification which is God’s declaration that a sinner is righteous through the work of Jesus Christ. Sanctification is God’s transformation of a believer’s whole being, that is the mind, will, behaviors, and affections through the work of the Holy Spirit.
I often hear PAX talk about how they engage in conversations with people that notice how they have been or are being transformed on the outside because of the 1st F in F3.  Now I want to speak directly to those that claim Christ as their Lord and savior.  What kind of impact could we have if our relationship with Christ were to really transform us in the same way we are transformed physically.
If we claim to be a Christ follower then that should impact our language regardless of the environment, we are in.
If we claim to be a Christ follower then that should impact our attitude while interacting with others regardless of the environment, we are in.
If we claim to be a Christ follower then that should impact our actions regardless of the environment we are in and who we are with, in private and in public.
 
The heart of who we really are is the person we behave like at our worst not whom we behave like when we are at our best.  We should live consistently and not change based on our environment.  Are your words, attitude, actions truly reflecting the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit in your life?
Take a knee.
I appreciate the opportunity to lead you men today, thank you for that privilege.
Hot Mic Out!
