Poem
"I fought the good fight, finished my course and stayed true to my faith" these are the last words that Paul the Apostle did convey many pastors use this text when they preach a eulogy but I think it's just as appropriate for every living body this was Paul's epitaph and these words summed up his life's story the last words that he uttered and with them he gave God all the glory Paul told his son Timothy to continue to preach the Word no matter how unwelcome nor inconvenient and no matter what he'd heard with inexhaustible patience he charged Tim to proclaim the gospel of Christ to partake in the Great Commission as a testiment to his life you'll never know what you may say that might touch a tender soul you'll never know if your words may make someone in Christ become more bold in this world of iniquity, selfishness and greed the gospel of Jesus the Christ is what mankind now desparately needs we've forgotten the Word of God and think it's all about us we think that we have more power than the Lord Christ Jesus there's nothing wrong with self-empowerment but people need to perceive that in spite of the choices and decisions they make they can't determine their own destiny God is in control and He's the ultimate life force God is in control and He's already set your life's course one of the ministers in my church was involved in a serious car crash broadsided by a cab and he said in a second his whole life did flash pushed across a six laned highway and into a tree lined parking lot and despite his car being totaled there was no shedding of a single blood drop he and his wife walked away from that wreck completely unscathed they were covered by the blood of Jesus and both of them were saved to fight the good fight, to finish the course and keep the faith these are the words to live by that every person should undertake these were Paul's last words to his son Timothy urging to for Christ keep claiming the victory he asked that his life and death to be not in vain and he wrote to all his friends and addressed them by name he told them to fight the good fight, to keep the faith and in Christ stay the course and remember that God's in charge and in control of your life force
