Scriptures for the New Year

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  I hope that all of you who read this blog will have a wonderful 2014.  As we leave 2013 behind, I want to share with you two passages of Scripture for the coming days ahead.

Philippians 3:13-14 -- "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:  but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Hebrews 12: 1-2 -- "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

I also want to give you a challenge for the New Year.  Try to find at least one person in January to share the Gospel with.  Resolve to make 2014 the year that you seek to obey the Great Commission.
