    Our decision to live for Christ and mature in Him was never promised to us as an easy job. There will always be things (and people) in life who will try to ruin our testimony or prevent us from "running the race."

    JOHN 8:1-11 LIVING A GODLY LIFE IS TROUBLESOME BECAUSE OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN (v.1-6) -world will attack your beliefs -world will attack you -because of the world, we need EACH OTHER (event was not about the woman or her sin... the used her to try and trap JESUS LIVING A GODLY ...read more

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more

An epitaph is the words which are written on a tombstone and they act as a way of remembering a deceased person’s life.
