FORWARD IN CHRIST

"Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling, in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:13-14

The theme of Couples For Christ this year is : Moving Forward in Christ. On a personal note, one cannot really forget what went on in the past, but must put it in the proper perspective. St. Paul always finds the imagery for straining forward, fighting the good fight, and running the race to win. It is all about advancing in growth for Christ. Peter once faltered while walking forward on the water towards Christ. If one does not forge ahead and grow, one can only falter, slide backward, and sink. Brothers and sisters, Forward in Christ!
