Running for a Purpose
The Apostle says, "So run that ye may obtain." There are some people who certainly
never will obtain the prize because they are not even entered. Their names are not
down for the race, and therefore it is quite clear that they will not run, or, if they do
run, they will run without having any warrant whatever for expecting to receive the
prize. There are some who will tell you themselves, "We make no profession — none
whatever." It is quite as well, perhaps, that you do not; because if you did, you would
be hypocrites, and it is better to make no profession at all than to be hypocrites. Still,
recollect, your names are not down for the race, and therefore you cannot win. If a
man tells you in business that he makes no profession of being honest, you know
that he is a confirmed rogue. If a man makes no profession of being religious, you
know what he is — he is irreligious — he has no fear of God before his eyes, he has
no love for Christ, he has no hope of heaven. He confesses it himself. Strange that
men should be so ready to confess this. You don't find persons in the street willing to
acknowledge that they are confirmed drunkards. Generally, a man will repudiate it
with scorn.
