Based upon some of the feed back I have received from the previous post, there needs to be some clarification of what "race" everyone is called to run. Is it life? In Ecclesiastes 9:11, I think Solomon is comparing the race to life. The entire chapter is about human life and how death comes to all. But that is not the race Paul is talking about. In his letter to the Galatians (2:2) running the race is directly linked to his sharing the gospel. In Philippians 2:16-17 Paul compares his labor, his running to his proclaiming the gospel thankful it would not be in vain. It seems clear "The Race" is sharing and proclaiming the gospel of Christ.
Remember the day you joined the race. The day the power of the gospel raised you from the dead and breathed life into you. What was your response? In the documentary the decision to marathon caused the the competitors to run. Not aimlessly, but with discipline and purpose. That decision to train will have a greater impact the life of the runner and the lives around them than the marathon event. Are you ready to witness the power of the gospel? Train to Race

I do remember the day you joined the race, the day the power of the gospel raised you from the dead and breathed life into me. I'd like to regain the passion I had back then for knowing Jesus better. I suppose a whole bunch of good things crowd out that which is better.
