Running the Race Motif

Sexual temptations have always been present, but modern media makes it especially hard to even imagine purity. Running the Race uses the picture of a race to amplify the key steps needed to gain victory:

  • Getting into the race
  • Getting in shape
  • Readying the mind
  • Mastering the course
  • Deciding to win
  • Crossing the line

The goal is not merely short-term resistance, but a wholesome, sexually pure life before God and others.
