Running in a race requires perseverance, training, and commitment--the parallels to the Christian life are clear: we should rid ourselves of all hindrances and weights holding us back. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/life-saving-pain-5921 2009-09-21T09:15:53-05:00 The longer you refuse to repent of your sin, the more God is going to turn up the pain, and the higher price you're going to pay. Not because He doesn't love you, but because He does; too much to let you keep going down a road that's destroying you.
