But...we must really and truly walk NOT in the flesh but in the Spirit. Too many want their cake and to eat it too. They want the prize but prefer not to ...read more

It’s also possible, given that Zacchaeus’ name is used here, that he was known ...read more

    Apostle Paul often spoke of his Christian life as if running in the Olympic Games. I believe Paul watched those games many times and running was probably the most competitive. What prize was Paul running for? Salvation is not the prize

    What goals we have helps in knowing what obstacles we might face. Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of ...read more
