The Purpose-Driven Life

by Rick Warren

see the YouTube clip here Purpose-Driven Life

²⁴ Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. ²⁵ Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. (1 Corinthians 9:24-25)

 

Let us go on to the neighbouring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do. (Mark 1:38)
