and there can be only one winner

[24] 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.
[25] 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.
[26] Therefore I do not run like a man
running aimlessly; I do not fight like
a man beating the air.
[27] No, I beat my body and make it my
slave so that after I have preached to
others, I myself will not be
disqualified for the prize.

The funny thing is, we all know we are in a race,
like when a driver gets ahead of you on the freeway.

They are coming around the home bend now, Mark Earnest is way out in
front as they come down to the 200 metre mark, but who is this out of
the pack coming home like a train! Hoooooooooooo hooooooooooo!!! It's
Michael McLean! The crowd cheers. With great strides he gathers in Mark
Earnest; they hit the line locked together...and...

And here come the stragglers...Robert Who coming in last. But what is
this, Robert Who's horse seems to have something stuck on it's ass!

Zoom in on camera 3 please! Amazing, it is a Robert Who paraphrase
version of the bible!

Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
YET sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it
is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"Sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall
where God intends."

"Nothing that is produced is produced without first being faith."

"You can only find proof of God through faith because that is how we all
live, by faith."

"It is not what you do that matters, it is how you treat Me."

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time."
