Mighty Men's Conference 2010 Finishing Strong 21-22 May 2010
Men…
It doesn’t matter if you have had a great start in the Christian life or not; it doesn’t matter if you’ve stumbled time and again along the way – or even fallen flat on your face; the race is still before you.
These days, the Christian man who hangs in there for the long haul with his wife, his kids, and his Lord is an exception: maybe only one man in ten will make it. The challenges a man will face are increasing. The issue that faces a man more than ever is not how he started out as a Christian, but how he will finish.
No matter what a man does in life, he is in fulltime ministry, doing everything as unto the Lord. It takes tough choices and the grit of experience in order to finish strong and hit the tape at whatever age the Lord takes him home.
Prepare yourself to go the distance. Get hold of God’s strategy. Run your race with integrity. Be one of God’s Champions by finishing strong.
