They are the product of a thousand invisible times with their coach. When others are off doing whatever, the champion is faithfully spending time listening to and learning from their coach. No shortcut. That's exactly how it is with Jesus. Your source of strength and victory is a thousand times with your Coach that no one ever sees. http://hutchcraft.com/Blogs/Ron-s-Blogs/What-Makes-the-Marathon-Worth-it 2008-08-20T11:05:47-05:00 At times, I've run for plastic trophies instead of God's gold. Having everyone like me. Being affirmed by those I considered to be a big deal. Receiving the approval of a crowd or an organization. Having people know my name. But it's all so hollow. So temporary. So wrong. http://peggiesplace.gospelcom.net/olympics2008.htm 2008-08-18T20:28:17-05:00 Olympics fever is worldwide - check out a Christian page with sports resources, news about Christian athletes, and much more! http://hutchcraft.com/Blogs/Ron-s-Blogs/Replaying-Your-Performance 2008-08-11T15:58:53-05:00 Beyond our intrinsic, God-given worth, it's the kind of person we are that matters to God. That's worth much more than the kind of performance we give. We need to be praising people for how generous, how compassionate, how unselfish they are - strengths for which there are no medals, but the strengths that really make a difference in people's lives. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Fallen-Down-But-Finishing-Strong-5066 2008-08-06T15:26:23-05:00 Simon failed, Moses failed, and yet God still had something very important for them to do for Him once they repented and surrendered their brokenness to Him. He wants to do that for you. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Trusted-With-the-Torch-5614 2008-07-21T11:35:21-05:00 Paul must have enjoyed the ancient Olympic Games. He made several references to them. As he writes his letter to his spiritual apprentice, Timothy, you can almost picture Paul as a torch bearer of the message of Jesus Christ. Writing from a prison cell, he's on his last lap before he is going to collapse into the arms of Jesus. But right now he's concerned about who will carry the torch from here. http://lausanneworldpulse.com/urban.php/978 2008-07-15T14:19:02-05:00 The author shares how countless Chinese urbanites and migrant workers have been displaced by the upcoming Olympics. http://lausanneworldpulse.com/urban.php/980 2008-07-15T14:09:09-05:00 An introduction to those living in poverty in China and the impact of the Olympic Games on their lives. http://peggiesplace.gospelcom.net/biblebytes289.htm 2008-04-10T12:55:20-05:00 Olympics fever is in the air.....and so are the fanatics who are chasing the torch!
