Goals: they captivate us, allure us, drive us, haunt us. Some are fulfilled. Some are never realized. We want to pursue and achieve good things, nobler things. But sometimes we fall short, short of our dreams and noble goals.

But for those who know and follow Christ, God has a plan, and that plan is the pursuit of one goal, one lasting achievement. It is “the mark”, “the prize of the upward call”. It is Christlikeness. For every child of God, it is a sure thing, the inevitable purpose of our Heavenly Father for us.

But while we are predestined for it, we must be no less devoted to it. While it is God’s promised will, it is also our present work and pursuit. Every Christian’s life is lived in pursuit of likeness to Christ. The end is sure, but the dramatic process is unfolding. Join us at P4C 2019, where we will explore this lifelong journey that takes us to “the mark” of Christlikeness.
