Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly, I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body & make it my slave to that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the PRIZE! 1 COR. 9:24-27
Eph. 4:12-16 ESV - To equip the Saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body in Christ...15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into CHRIST! 16....making the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Eph 5:2-walk in love. As believers we become strong when we exercise the Love factor in our lives, given to us when we surrendered to Jesus' plan. Speak Truth in Love, to situations out of your hands! Build up the new man with God's word! Stay strong and look to Jesus! WALK in FAITH! Grow in Grace and knowledge of Christ
