St. Paul wrote (Philippians 3:12-14):
“Not that I have already obtained all of this,
Paul continues, “nor that I have already been made perfect…”
“But I press on toward the prize. . .
“. . . to win the prize for which God has . . .”
“. . . called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Of course, we dare not use God’s Word only as inspirational quotes. Paul’s point in Philippians is that it’s only in a Cross-centered view of Christ and His good news that we can make sense of the goal-motivated longings of our heart.”
For those weary of pressing on and pursuing see this post . . .

I love the idea of football and scripture. The best of both worlds! I sure miss being a cardinal this time of year. It’s an even harder pill to swallow now that we are Tigers (again). Please tell Christopher we will be pulling for him tomorrow. GO CARDS!
Brad, we miss you!
