Paul often used a racing analogy when referring to our Christian walk. So in 2019, we are running the race for Jesus by learning more about our Savior and through acts of service.
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. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.

Perhaps you want to skip the service suggestions – or do only the service ideas. As mentioned above you might choose to do some months and not others. It would be great to encourage one another throughout the year by commenting on how our strength training is going.
It is my prayer we will all grow spiritually during 2019 by completing the Christian workout as it fits your schedule.
