The Olympics showcase some of the greatest athletes in the world, but none of them would be there without their coaches who push them, encourage them, and help them strive to win the prize. Christianity is no different. To help us keep our eyes on the prize of heaven, we too need spiritual coaches, friends and role models.
The hope every New Year is that the troubles and traumas of the past year will simply fade away. From past experience we all know it doesn't work like that. Fortunately, though, our God who is greater than a number on a calendar has solutions for all of our problems.
