BB&JT: Plea and thank you for ratings and review & for spreading the word via social media and word of mouth…

• BB – You are pretty good about doing assessments… What about your life do you find a need to assess the most?

JT answers

• JT – What about you – where does your life need assessment?

BB answers

4. Bob – POINT: God points to the need to assess where we are in life in every area. It’s well said that the things we are willing to track or assess are the things we care about the most… What we are talking about today is the need to assess what we are putting into our minds because it has a great big affect on whether we are given to fear or confidence…

Philippians 4:6–8 (ESV) — 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

5. JT ------ OK THEN LET’S TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THAT as we bring up… WHAT’S NEW –  as we open Bob’s recent blog from bobbrubaker.com …

10. JT – Question ONE

How is the “Ledger principle” a spiritual activity?

11. Bob

Philippians 4:6–8 (ESV) — 6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Spiritual discipline to bring every thought into captivity and not allow the world to dictate what you are thinking and how you are feeling…

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (ESV) — 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

Go to Psalm 56 and take note of how David treats his fears… by focusing upon God’s word – which produces great confidence … NOT IN SELF but GOD

12. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT” – Let’s look at that ledger from a purely mental standpoint… and the value of thinking on the good rather than the bad…

13. Bob

You are over men and women… and I’m sure that when someone gets stuck on the negative … you have to do something to wake them up to get off the stuck track of mind they are on… You can’t put a constant stream of negative news and conversations and expect to have anything other than a negative outcome…

You are and become what you think about…

14. (JT) Third Question …. Turning to the physical aspect of life….

Let’s talk about the value of cross training… Everyone knows by now you cycle… but what else do  you do to train and why….

15. Bob

Cycling – Swimming – Lifting

• Can’t run
• Strength descending as you age
• Swim – helps the breathing without impact
• No triathlons but it’s fun to add variety but still recover

What say you?

• JT answers
• BB It takes discipline to do something … but it’s worth it.

1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV) — 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

16. Bob’s final comment

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
