The Apostle Paul said, "Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" Phillipians 3:13,14.

The prize is set before us
In this field of life below.
Keep your hands upon the plow
And your eyes upon the goal.

The past is all behind me.
No point in looking back.
History found me off the course.
It often showed my lack.

The furrow’s deep. the path is straight
And narrow is the way
That leads us to that higher shore
Where we will always stay.

Driving always forward.
Never looking back.
Always pressing toward the mark.
The prize is yet ahead.

Pressing on, pressing on.
The goal is just ahead.
Falter not, Waver not.
The prize is just ahead.

    I wrote an article on Paul and post-modern evangelism. That articel is popular and my evangelism lecturer at Bible College liked it. Paul was an intelligent and educated man.
