It's Already Started People Are Arriving in Paris Because it's 2024
With the 2024 Paris Olympics round the corner I felt it was important to remember the 1924 Paris Olympics where Eric Liddell a Christian runner stunned the world when he made the decision to withdraw from his favourite race the 100M sprint because he didn't want to compete on a Sunday. Joe Kirby from Off the Kirb Ministries also explores Eric Liddell's life and how he also gave up being an athlete to become a missionary for Jesus.

I don't normally do this, but would you please consider sharing this video with your Pastor? As my main goal for this video is that it could be used in churches and shared with friends and family as we approach the Paris 2024 Olympics. If it does get shown in your church, please come back to this pinned comment and tell me, as I'd really love to hear from you!! Much love to you all - Joe

Joe, your channel ALWAYS makes me think.....this story touched me deeply. I appreciate all the hard work you do for our Savior and for us. I'm not young anymore and the daily grind leaves me lacking sometimes. I feel my age. Sometimes. But I speak from experience that the Holy Spirit is there to uplift and aid us with extraordinary strength to help us finish the race. I pray to win and press on, towards Jesus. Thank you for this wonderful example and how deeply it touched all of us here. God Bless and keep you, Joe.

This was so good. I love the story of Eric Liddell. What an example of what a servant of Our Lord Jesus Christ should be. Thank you.
May the spirit of Eric Liddell run at the race 100 years later leading us all to Jesus Christ and victory.❤
LIDDELL WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD WHAT A GRAND REWARD
I knew a lady whose family were with the China Inland Mission and who were in the Japanese internment camp with 'Uncle Eric'. She was a child and he taught her..... amazing humble brother in Christ.
Wow!!!! Lord help me to run this race for YOU!!!!
I'm 59. I've been blessed to be able to retire at 53, have three beautiful children, nine grandchildren and one great grandson. I've go so much to live for, yet if our Lord decides to take me home this morning, it would be the greatest gift I could ever receive! To be with my Savior for eternity.....the ultimate prize ❤❤

This video came through just at the right time. I had been thinking for a while what it really means to be a Christian. What it costs. And some really harsh questions were made. Are you willing to be alone? Are you willing to live a mundane life? Are you willing to have no friends? Are you willing to have no family? Are you willing not to be the center of attention? Are you willing not to make worldly success? Are you willing to be long-suffering? Are you willing not to take revenge? Are you willing to forgive? Are you willing to deny your flesh? Are you willing others not know about your existance on this planet ? Perhaps, never? Are you willing to be forgoten in this Earth? Are you truly, truly willing to let God be your only hope and source of fulfillment? -I said what i said, i don't even know if it was me. But it is true. This christian life is not for the weak. It is not an aesthetic. It is not a trend. It is a living sacrifice made unto God each and every second of your life. I'm not saying it is all terrible. Nor that every christian ends up like this. I'm saying, unless you are willing to truly give up all as if you were really dead, including those closest to you: No. You cannot be a real christian. Jesus said it Himself: "Everyone that loves their mother or their father mkre than me is not worthy of me. Everyone that loves their son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me." And if you're thinking about this and conclude that the cost is much too high to be payed, that every single thing i mentioned and even more that is being experienced by real people, in real life..., these things i ask you. What real success truly is? Is any source of fulfillment (other than God) eternal, like the rock and not like sand? If not, what is going to happen to that house when storms come in? Is it not going to fall? Is it not going to be destroyed? Yet the house on the rock will stand many storms. Please think about this.

The USA needs more people like Joe, our country is falling fast. But revelation predicted the fall of the 8th beast. Which is of the 7th. England empire fell and the UK and USA made the “United Nations” It came of the British empire and the fancy name will fool most but it’s just the USA who runs the United Nations.
Bro Joe I'm still watching your vids and must say it's been long since I've last commented but I must say how grateful and blessed I feel from all your weekly messages. What a beautiful testimony of God Eric had. Only 46 bless him, but what a legacy tho'
Thank you Joe! So very inspiring an encouragement during these days when so many things can take our eyes off of serving our Saviour.

GOD works in mysterious ways. BTW you will understand too why there is so much negativity and friction toward him. He is the 'Queen Esther' of this generation: for such a time as this.

Thank you, Joe! I'm familiar of Eric Liddell ever since the movie "Chariots of Fire', which I also noted some clips from the movie in your video. Eric was a man that I admire for his courage to stand up for his Christian principles, even- to a bittersweet end. That end, though was just the beginning of his life everlasting with Jesus Christ, his LORD and Saviour! GOD bless you for this reminder of one who finished "the race" to receive accolades in heaven!!!
Great video Joe! ❤

Thank you for this...we live in such a despicable age it is inspiring to hear of the saints of old. God bless your ministry.
Always reminds me of the song " He is no fool" By twila paris : He is no fool if he would choose to give the thing he cannot keep to buy what he can never ever lose. To see a treasure in one soul that far out shines the brightest gold. He is no fool. There once was a man who could run like the wind given the lead every man was his friend at the line. But Light from the cross made his race appear small and to their amazement he followed the call he is no fool that he would choose to give the thing he cannot keep to buy what he can never ever lose. To see the treasure in one soul that far out shines the brightest star he is no fool he is no fool
This is one amazing story. Thank you for this today. It causes me to search deep into my own soul. God bless your ministry.
