Is there a more perfect metaphor for Cell Group ministry and the total Christian life than Jason Lezak's come from behind victory over Alain Bernard, the world record holder in the 100 freestyle? Few sports are more painful than swimming sprints and almost no one ever comes from behind to win...that is why it is so magnificent when it happens. I know of very few cell group leaders who do not feel continually like they are behind Alain Bernard with no shot at victory. We pound away and yet the gold is always just too far beyond our reach. That is why I love so much the Apostle Paul's bellow from the heavenly stands. "So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit." Or, as Michael Phelps screamed, "Go!" My friend, the pool is all yours. It's your time to make a run at it!
