    We all want to stay true to what we know is right, but itcan be hard and not everyone wants to work to do theright thing.

    The tension to do the right thing, but our dark side (sinnature) telling us to do the wrong thing is called spiritualwarfare.

    The real challenge comes then from standing up asGods man with courage. WE CANT WAIT TO STAND

    UP FOR GOD! No matter what the Devil throws at us, wecant listen to that.

    It becomes harder and harder the more we put offfighting our spiritual battles.

    Remember what Kyler said on tour?

    Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broadthat leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 Forthe gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are fewwho find it.

    -1 Corinthians 13:11

    Some Bullets highlighted below

    There is no such thing as later with God, only now

    Matthew 5:13-20, Just because we are saved by grace doesnt

    mean that we should do nothing.

    There is no such thing as great results withoutsacrifices

    Hebrews 12:11, No sacrifice to become a man of God is easy atfirst but when we are trained by them and become disciplined, we

    are able to find joy in them. There is no such thing as a bloody Savior and a lazy

    believer

    Faith without works is dead, James 2:14-26. If Jesus truly becamebloodied and beaten and torn beyond recognition (Isaiah 52:13-15) and we believe that, then we shouldnt be lazy and not have

    Lets Look at the story on Pg. 11

    What the wise king was saying to the knight:

    Do you have the courage of a man, or will you run from yourproblems?

    Is there depth to your desire for my daughter?

    How bad do you really want my maiden?

    Will you change your tune under pressure?

    Will you face your fears and discover the man within?

    Will you risk everything? We say yes to God and then he asks us again, are you

    willing to slay the dragon?

    Dont blow this off, this tomorrow attitude has to end. Irealize though that you guys are here, in C3, to drop thisattitude at the door!

    God has a plan for our lives as it is laid out in

    Deuteronomy 30:19-20 which is on pg. 12. Keep an eye out for suppressing fire: Because we are on

    this journey together and Satan will do everything in hispower to distract us.

    A fair warning: This group will involve seriousdistractions, temptations, internal conflicts, anxiety, fear,sexual thoughts, and every other available tactic. Satanwants to stop you from being the man of God, God wantsyou to be.

    God is always on the alert, constantly on the lookout forpeople who are totally committed to him.

    2 Chronicles 16:9

    And Remember Gods got your back! Your not drawing

    your sword alone but your drawing it with God on yourside at your front and your behind. Ephesians 6:10-17
