The third installment in the Strength Training series

1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?Run in such a way as to get the prize.  Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. (NIV)

Luke 21:19

Stand firm, and you will win life.
