• 1 Corinthians 9:25 - olympians would compete for a crown that would die. Our reward will never pass away. 
• Don't allow yourself to be a cast away. Cast away's are not dead but irrelevant. 
• Tombstones have read, "gone but not forgotten." It's a shame to be forgotten but not gone. 
• Avoid being a cast away by running with direction. Christian's have a purpose, and that's to make known the love of God! 
• When you take away the finish line all you have is exercise. Don't discipline yourself spiritually and never put it to practice. 
• The loss of biblical direction leads to spiritual stagnation. 
• Direction needs availability. The question is not are you present with, it's are you available to? 
• Direction needs adaptability. Adapting to those who need Jesus doesn't mean compromising morals. It means putting aside differences, opinions, etc. 
• We must fight with discretion. Don't waste your effort and don't spare any effort. 
• The sin and temptation we face is not an attack on us, it's an attack on the mission God has for our life to make Him known.
