“A SURE WINNER!”
1 Corinthians 9:24
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”
In the highly competitive world in which we live there will always be winners and losers. In every sporting event, spectators leave the stadium with smiles or frowns. In the financial world we find the same expressions depending on what the earning reports reveal.
There are many excuses given for why a favorite team lost. It may be that a key player was injured or, more frequently, an official called a decisive penalty that altered the outcome. Inevitably, the end result was that there was a loser.
In our Corinthians scripture today, Paul is writing to encourage each and every believer that we can all be winners. The prize that we are contending for is eternal life in heaven with joys and raptures far beyond anything here on earth.
The gift of eternal life is just that – a gift. It comes with a tremendous price, but the price has already been paid by our precious Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave His all that we all have only to accept it by accepting Him. Now that is a sure winner!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
