NMS:

• The following was recited during the COT – a tribute to the Forge, F3RVA, and all it means to be men of God:  

Upon the anvil of life, God hammers us repeatedly, not to break us, but to mold us, and to force the impurities from our selfish flesh. He repeatedly holds us in the fiery Forge to become softened by the Holy Spirit, that His light may shine before the World through us.

“We are each God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do the works He has prepared in advance for us to do.” (Eph 2:10)

What has God prepared for us today? This month? This year?! As iron sharpens iron, so God has placed us into one another’s lives to uphold His Forging process. Our F3 brotherhood in every way honors this process. We leave no man behind, and we leave no man where we find him. Let us be encouragers and accountability partners – we can not be influential without connection, so let us start 2020 strong by posting more and encouraging our F3 brothers and our sad clown neighbors to do the same!
