BUT WHY, DO YOU RUN?

1 Corinthians 9:23 I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings. 26.So I run with purpose in every step.

Pictured here are the kids of Ntcheu that we played games with that involved Miles B. and myself trying to catch (herd) sheep.  The kids were the sheep.  Our goal was to get and convert as many of them as we could.   Yesterday I talked about the FACT we all RUN, but today I want to ask you to honestly be HONEST with yourself as to WHY DO YOU RUN?  Paul stated in the 9th chapter of Corinthians that he does it to spread the GOSPEL and share the very blessings of it.  So every step is an intentional purpose-filled step of reaching those walking & living in darkness.  But what about you?  Why do you run from joining a growth group?   Why do you run from just standing and proclaiming who GOD is to you, and testifying of His goodness towards you at work?  Why do you run from inviting your neighbors, co-workers, family or anyone you know to church with you? GOD already knows why....but YOU, WE need to be honest with ourselves regarding WHY we are doing what we are doing.  

You can be rest assured if your goal in life (as a CHRISTIAN..if that's really what you are) isn't to spread the GOOD NEWS.....you aren't running the GOOD RACE....which only means you are running from God's purpose for you, and now running to.....well I'll let you figure that out..... (LGLP)
