Eric Liddell was an Olympic runner from Britain who won a gold medal in the 1924 Paris Olympics.

He was a man who had a deep commitment to the Lord and had future plans of being a missionary. In the meantime, he knew God had given him a special gift to run, and he often said, "I feel God's pleasure when I run."

He spent years training for the Olympics. He passed each hurdle and qualified for the Olympics.

Finally, the day came for him to run in the games that were held in Paris. There was only one problem. One of his running events was held on Sunday.

Liddell refused to run on Sunday, believing it dishonored the Lord's Sabbath. He held to his convictions and brought great persecution on himself.

AllWorship.com has now been broadcasting Christian worship music on the internet for over a decade! Christians in faraway countries who don’t have access to a radio station can listen to worship music and it doesn’t cost them a dime–our ministry picks up the tab. Nearly half of our listening audience comes from outside of North America. All this is made possible by your financial support of our not-for-profit ministry. Thank you for your trust and your generous donations.

We receive emails from our listeners around the world every month and they are so encouraging and humbling to us. We’d like to share some of those with you:
