    Our Marathon ends only at our death. Till then we need to run without hesitance and fear. We will face all kinds of encumbrances in life but throw off the run with the same pace and win the race.

    The Jews had been waiting for centuries for the Messiah to come. And who is he? The angel tells us that he is nothing less than the Lord! So from the very beginning of his earthly life it’s made clear that Jesus is the Lord.

    When The Running Stops

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026
     | 101 views

    When life’s motion slows and striving no longer sustains us, God reveals that true strength comes from knowing Him, not from constant movement.

    I’ve done a little to-ing and fro-ing in my day. I traveled around the world five times by the age of eleven. So movement came early for me. Packing, leaving, arriving, starting over—those weren’t dramatic events; they were normal. Motion felt natural. Stillness had to be learned later. So ...read more

    Instead of running from Holy Spirit fire and God’s plan and purpose for our lives, we need to start running towards the flames to get set ablaze. First we’ll look at what Holy Spirit fire does, and then the benefits it provides for our lives.

    Departing from God does not necessarily mean a physical departing in which a person goes fully back into the world from which he was redeemed – while this is true of some for many others it is a spiritual departing.
