This is just one of the first thoughts that popped into my head while I was reading this. I would write more but I don't want to be that guy who's blog is like 5 pages long.
P.S. I commented on Will's post

Which Side of the Hedge Are You On?
As I was reading through this excerpt I could not help but pick out numerous points and say that's Christianity or that's the world. We live in this world where we have set these goals and standards for ourselves. We refuse to stop and look around at what we could do to make our lives easier. The narrator was running down this road and the only thing on his mind was running his race. It kind of makes me think of an anti-Paul. Paul says that he has run the race with diligence. He has fought the good fight. What race his this man ran though? His race was only to do what he wanted to do. He only wanted to push his agenda. I think as Christians we need to take a look at what race we are running. Are we running a race that brings glory to God or are we running a race that will only bring glory to ourselves.

That is so good! Are we running a race that brings Him glory or ourselves glory... I believe Christians all to often forget this is something we are suppose to be aware of... We are suppose to bring Him glory in everything we say and do! I like one of the first thoughts that popped into your head! Thanks for keeping a constant reminder for everyone!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite verses is Phillipians 1:21 "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." I think that you are right, and that in all things we need to bring glory to God. The easiest way for me to put things into perspective is to remember this verse and to realize that everything I do should be for the furthering of the Kingdom
