Romans 5:18-21
• We are approaching the time for the next Olympic Games. In this setting we get to witness to most talented, gifted, and disciplined athletes in the world.

Yes, if they take the silver or bronze they will experience some personal satisfaction, but make no mistake they came to WIN!! They have spent their lives "going for the gold" and bringing "Glory" to their country and countrymen. For every Olympic athlete there are several steps or points along the way.
