Pressing on Toward the Goal or Straining Toward the Goal, Onward and Upward<br />Charles e. Whisnant<br />Philippians 3:12-14  Charles e. Whisnant  January  02,  09 Two Thousand and Eleven<br />12 Not as though I had already attained , either were already perfect : but I follow after , if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 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, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. KJV<br />12 I do not mean that I am already as God wants me to be. I have not yet reached that goal, but I continue trying to reach it and to make it mine. Christ wants me to do that, which is the reason he made me his. 13 Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above. New Century Version<br />12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. English Standard Version<br />Introduction: <br />“Make It To The Top Achievement Club”:  A reality checkup of self.<br />THOSE WHO STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING THE RACE SET BEFORE THEM:<br />LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS A DISNEY CHARACTER, standing near the castle in Fantasyland, wishing upon a star.<br /> Cinderella’s Castle, in Fantasyland    Timon & Pumba (“The Lion King”)<br />LIFE is a long term commitment to a long and untiring determination going in the same direction.  <br />LIFE HAS ITS FRUSTRATIONS -  YES, BUT ITS HOPES SUPERCEED.<br />LIFE THAT HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING IS THE ONE WHO WILL DISCOVER THE GREATEST SATISFACTION AND DELIGHT IN JESUS CHRIST.<br />TAKE THE RIGHT STEPS IN ADVANCING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TOWARD HOLINESS.<br />Society as a whole does not feel comfortable about long-term diligence and patience. They are seeking a quick self-gratification now. Pursuit of anything better be quick. It is micro-wave Christianity living or it’s out of here. <br />The public is seeking “success” in the world’s eyes. It’s the Super Bowl or you are out as a coach mentality.   <br />Take a look at today’s bookshelves: “Passport to Prosperity”  “Winning Moves”<br />,[object Object],How about these books on your bookshelves:<br />,[object Object]

  • 29. It produces joy in your life.
  • 30. It increases your witness to a lost world.Perfection is a GOAL and not an ACHIEVEMENT in this LIFE. You PURSUE but never Reach. Maturity is to be encouraged but not hurried. As someone said, God takes time to make an oak tree, He takes time to make a saint. Christian growth is a process.<br />Paul deals a blow to the doctrine of Perfectionism. You never arrive but you strive to reach the place where God would have you to be. <br />We are to give our whole life to gaining the PRIZE. We are to extend, stretch out, to literally overextend oneself. We are to stretch our muscles to their limit, attempting energetically to attain a state or condition to which we are called to be by Jesus Christ. This is to be a lifelong commitment and attitude. Every fiber of our body, every bit of strength that we can draw from a breath of air is being put into the pursuit of this prize.<br />How are you doing in the race? Do you have the focused attention that Paul is describing in your spiritual race? What is your primary focus in life? What drives you? Where do you invest your time and energy and talent?<br />THE CALL TO PURSUE THE PRIZE WHICH IS SPIRITUAL PERFECTION (maturity)<br />
