Press On

Philippians 3:12–14 - Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own.
But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (ESV)

We admonish our athletes to get after it, finish the drill, don't quit and etc. We harp on attitude and effort. Yet, do we live by the same principles? Are we practicing what we preach?  We should and we can. Let's start leading by example. Let's be the coach God is calling us to be.  Let's begin to be a PRESS ON coach!

Press On:
  • To keep going when life is tough. 
  • To live each day as a gift from the Lord. 
  • To daily impact and influence others.
  • To strive toward personal holiness.
  • To be the coach God is calling you to be.
It starts with your heart and works out into the hearts of others. Truthfully answer the following questions and then PRESS ON as you grow into the leader God is calling you to be.
  • Do you have an assurance of your salvation?
  • Are you growing and changing daily into the likeness of Christ?
  • Are you making a difference in the lives of others?
  • Are you leading your family well? Are you winning at home?
  • Is Jesus a big deal in your life?
