Running

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. - 1Co 9:24

What race are you running? Prayerfully it is not the “rat race.” Paul's point in the passage is that racing takes discipline and hard work and being a Christian is the same. It takes discipline – prayer, Bible study, fellowship, worship, etc. – and those are not always easily accomplished. That was Paul’s point nearly 2,000 years ago when people were too busy. Like the Corinthians we are not too busy, we are too busy doing other “more important” things.
