    About this ebook

    Completing the Race: Seniors in the Bible focuses on older men and women in the Bible running the race set before them. By faith many of them persevered despite unexpected, challenging circumstances. They learned to trust God more fully for the wisdom and strength needed in their senior years. A number of them endured personal losses or coped with national disaster. Some lived to have relationships with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and some outlived their children. A few found new ministry as their lives continued to produce fruit. Many became well known as men or women who prayed. They recognized Gods mercy and grace.

    These men and women ran lifes race with an ever-present awareness that life on earth is fleeting and that eternity is a reality. Abraham, Sarah, David, Anna, Peter, John, and many others lived long lives to the glory of God. Their lives offer insights for us as we run our race.

      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      Jan 1, 2021

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,

      Getting to Know God The Personhood & Deity of the Holy Spirit

      Jan 1, 2021
