The Goal

Philippians 3:13-14

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.


Maturity is having the courage to look forward. Lives are often destroyed because of failures to plan for tomorrow. As Christians, we too must plan for tomorrow. We must realize that the things of this Earth are fleeting quickly, and prepare for the day when we meet our savior face to face. We must work continuously for that day. As you survey your landscape how many people are you coming in contact with that don’t know Christ? There is work to be done. Stop thinking about what is passing, and concentrate on that day. We are all dying, but what are you living for?

Keep your eyes fixed on the prize...

You will find meaning and purpose in this life, not in the things you can see, but in the things that exist beyond belief...Godspeed!
