U Matters - 03 Nov 2016

by Greg Anderson on November 06, 2016

I have been passed by porcupines on Bowen Road. They waddle by slowly which doesn't say much for my walking speed.

The Apostle Paul compares the Christian life to running a race. In Philippians 3:13-14 he writes: "Straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called."

Brenna and a group of Union members are training for a marathon in Cambodia. Pastor Matthew is a runner so he has agreed to preach on this passage.

Are you training and straining as you run the spiritual race? Or are you poking around and being passed by the porcupines?
