    Many people avoid God, because they don’t believe He can be known, others stay away because they don’t think they would like Him if they knew Him! Still others would rather hold on to the temporal pleasures of a sinful life, assuming that the way of God is less than fulfilling or meaningful!

    The fact that we are alive testifies that we have a race to run, and that it requires endurance. Such races often stem from extreme misfortune. Some suffer from health conditions, or conditions of their own making. In any case, everyone has a race set before them.

    "Why John Did Outrun Peter"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Apr 11, 2005
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,248 views

    When John was running, the text indicates he was running with the mindset of “He loves me, he loves me, he loves me.”

    Title of the Message: “Why John outran Peter?” John records that he outran Peter to the empty tomb? This message is speculation, but I believe that the trues are very acurate. In context John records that he is, “The disciple whom Jesus loved.” When Peter was running to the tomb, no ...read more

    Sin always pays its wages — and the result is death. We all run somewhere when confronted with our guilt — but where we run makes all the difference. Temporary fixes and “spiritual tourniquets” cannot save us; only Jesus can bring true healing and freedom.
