    We are all running towards a goal and our reward is the crown of righteousness that the Lord has promised to all those who run and finish well. However, in order to attain this imperishable crown, we need to exercise self-control in every area of our life.

    A race run well The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Corinth admonishes them this way. He says to them in 1 Corinthians 9:24 -25,“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain it.

    Too many Christians are satisfied with doing their minimum requirement for God. They don't realize the blessings they miss out on because they've just done what they "had to do" as His child. What are they missing out on and how can they change?

    (Props: 3 arrows) OPEN: Yesterday was January 2nd. Does anyone know what national holiday that is? It’s called “Run It Up The Flagpole and See Who Salutes Day.” Yes… that’s actually a special day on the January calendar. I visited a couple of sites that spoke about ...read more

    The Corinthian version of the Olympics was something the people of Corinth knew well. Paul used this knowledge to show how believers could win, or lose, rewards depending on how each one runs his or her race.

    Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription. Introduction: Paul had led many Corinthians to faith in Christ during his stay there (see Acts 18). Now he’s away from them and he’s pointing out some problems these new believers were having. Here in ...read more

    When The Running Stops

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 13, 2026
     | 140 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

    Paradise began with a river flowing from the Garden, and in Heaven a river flows from the throne of God. The message is a brief consideration of the role these rivers play in the economy of God.

It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold” [GENESIS 2:10-11]. “The angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as ...read more
