Go for gold in 2010
By the apostle Paul, writing from the 1st century
In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win.1
I do not count myself to have apprehended [attained]; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.2
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.3
