“Were you aware that the Bible uses the imagery of a race, which was a common event in the ancient Olympic Games, to illustrate the Christian life and the pursuit of spiritual goals? This comparison highlights the discipline, effort, and focus required to achieve spiritual maturity and eternal rewards. The Bible says, ‘Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win!’ (I Corinthians 9:27). Are you really running to win?”
-Rev. Mark Creech
