Run To Win

Written by

In 1 Corinthians chapter 9, Apostle Paul reminds us that "running our race in life" — that is, carrying out what we've been called to do — requires commitment and discipline.

What is Your Decision?

At one point or another, life has pinned many of us between "a rock and a hard place." Yet, very few of us would be willing to (literally) amputate our arm in order to be set free. But, as depicted in the award-winning film 127 Hours, that’s exactly what Aron Ralston did.
