"Where Are the Goal Posts?"

1 Corinthians 9:19-27

In today's society our lives can become so fragmented we lose sight of

who we are and what our lives are really about. In Corinthians,

Paul declares that he lives with a clear goal before him. What can we learn from him when it comes to living our lives fully and defining our goals?
