RUN TO WIN
As we got back into our "Tour of 1 Corinthians," we engaged chapter nine.  It ends with a familiar and powerful passage:

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. Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.


(1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NASB

Sympathies and Prayers Extended to Nyquist Family  Lilly
Please lift up Scott, Diane and family. From Scott:
"My sister Kathy McDowell went to be with the Lord on Tuesday afternoon.  I found out that things were going south quickly.  I wrote her a good bye letter Monday night and sent it to her daughter Christina back in Pennsylvania.  Chris read it to Kathy today.  Kathy couldn't talk but I know she heard how much I loved her and how proud I was of her.  I'm not sure about the funeral situation but I know Diane and I will be flying back east soon.  I'm grateful that she is no longer suffering, yet we are heartbroken with this news."                     Kathy McDowell Obituary >

 
 

Justinano Update

Thank you for your prayer for the ministry in Japan.  It is always exciting to see the Lord change lives in a place like this that has such great spiritual need.  We're seeing the Lord increase our ministries of evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training...
