Heb 12:1-3 (MSG)
Discipline in a Long-Distance Race
Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
We are not sprinters but long-distance runners. The presence of a storm doesn't mean the absence of Jesus.
We will outlast our personal storms because TEN-A-CITY is the kind of faith that upholds CHC!
Let us Arise and Rebuild FAITH, CHC!
(1 John 5:4)
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
