    Writing the Corinthian believers who lived just 10 miles from the famous Isthmian Games, Paul challenged them not merely to join the race of faith but to be serious about it and run to win. God wants winning believers! In our present sports-crazed world,

    Intro: Perhaps the most remarkable scene in sports is the marathoner’s last lap at the end of a tough 26-mile race.
