The prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Dissatisfaction with the past accomplishment is the mother of invention. Because man was dissatisfied with carrying and lifting loads upon his shoulder, he invented vehicles to ride in. Pity the man who is content with his own progress and feels he has arrived. This is all the more true to Christian life.
Nothing here is as deadly as self-satisfaction.
It is the power to be able to live a life of victory. Paul's desire was to know Him and the fellowship of his suffering. Passion for a lost world. Stephen F. Olford, pp. All Rights Reserved.
