24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (1 Corinthians 9:24 – 27, English Standard Version)
Theme: The Wisdom of Discipline
Today is reserved for your review of the discussions we have engaged in over the past three days. As you perform your review, please catch up on the comments.
Suggestion:
One of our commentators (Pastor Ronnie) provided what could be considered a personal restatement of our Scripture passage: “Run well! Finish Well, Receive Well done! Start with the End in mind. Do whatever is necessary to finish well and receive the Prize.” Take some time to come up with your own restatement, and if you care to, please share it on the blog.
