    As we run the race the journey will be one where we face many faith-testing situations. In that journey we can endure and “finish well” because our Saviour gives us all we need to fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith.

    There's a New Year's custom in some villages in Scotland where barrels of tar are set ablaze and rolled through the streets, signifying the burning of the old year. Perhaps this signifies leaving it all behind and being focused on looking ahead.

    Luke 15:1-10 GNB One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to Jesus, (2) the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling, "This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!" (3) So Jesus told them this parable: (4) "Suppose one of you has ...read more
