We have all had the feeling that we ran in circles, and nothing was accomplished. How many times can you honestly say you have been worn out, but it seems nothing was done? It is only reasonable to know that if it can happen in everyday life, it can happen in our church work as well. How many visits, how many calls, how many emails, how many bible studies have you tried to set up, how many doors have you knocked, and how many encouraging cards have you sent, and the response seemed to be at best dismal?
The life of a Christian is characterized by Paul as a “race”.
