- 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
Hi
Halluea 😇🙌🙌🙌
Dear Joe, what a wonderful and inspiring message this is. Thank you so very much. I have just forwarded it to three "shepherds" who work in three different churches, as I feel it's just such a great idea. I will also post it on my WhatsApp status update... God bless you dear brother and your family. Have a blessed day in the Lord. Sister Ine
Wow! Amazing story about Eric Liddell. Thank you for sharing this inspirational story.
Oh Lord Jesus, you know I need a Word, grace saving hell preaching church ❤
Joe my name is Cin. I was struggling between sin and Jesus. But your videos made me reflect on my life and now I am born again. Thank you so much❤🤝
Welcome home to your Saviour who loves you so much ❤ ✝️
Hallelujah!
Right On! Thank You Jesus!
Welcome!
Welcome to the family of the Lord 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Halleluyah!
What a beautiful story. I can't run, i can barely walk some days. But I'm running towards Jesus. Thank you Joe.
Amen!!
The movie Chariots of Fire was based on Eric Liddel’s years as a college athlete and his Olympic race.
Amen ✝️🌿🇨🇵🌿
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.
Wow praise God, I love this comment!!
Beautiful report, Joe. I've heard this story before. Inspiring. I am now pushing 70, I've come to realize that as we listen to the Savior Jesus Christ, and pay attention we will discover how He fits our life experiences together for His ultimate Glory.
Let's be a blessing.
Amen!
So True!! Thanks for Sharing. Bless up Brother ❤✌🏻
Amen!
@@offthekirbThe only issue here is he didn't compete because it was on Sunday, but everyone needs to know that God's true sabbath(Saturday in over 100 languages)is friday sunset to saturday sunset,its not Sunday which so many believers think it is
Got tears. Jesus waiting with open arms....
Me too.....running a very hard race right now. Please 🙏 for me. I am a recent widow and I own home I have not been able to live in for a little over a year, due to flooding. I am not behind on the payments...I will be out of the hotel a week from tomorrow. I have been hospitalized due to pneumonia- I can't breathe the air in my home. The contractors have robbed me blind, it's been difficult since my husband has his accident. He had a TBI and a broken neck after 360 in the hospital he passed. $$ bills are piling up. I feel lost.
Jesus is the SUN OF MAN! and yes we are receiving radiation from the sun right now. This is our solar system evolution. We are all changing. Your Jesus is saturating you with radiation. The truth is, EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Walk away from it all. Leave it, don't let it harm you any more. It is just stuff.
Solar system evolution.
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.
Eric has long been one of my heroes. Chariots of Fire is such a great movie.
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.
LIDDELL WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD WHAT A GRAND REWARD
May the spirit of Eric Liddell run at the race 100 years later leading us all to Jesus Christ and victory.❤
Wow, just wow. He might have left behind the temporary glamor but nobody will steal his reward in heaven, that's for sure. Amazing fella, respect!
Amen!!
Please pray for me brothers and sisters.
As of June 1, 2024 I will be homeless. I don’t make enough to qualify to rent from anywhere in my city. I am disabled and cannot work.
🙏
There is HOPE IN FRONT OF YOU!!! Cry to Jesus he will hear your cry and answer. That is a promise!! Don’t give up DONT QUIT PLACE YOUR FAITH IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST!!
Locate THE LORD'S CHOSEN CHARISMATIC REVIVAL MINISTRIES in your city. They'll help you
May the Holy Spirit surround you with peace and comfort during this time. Prayers for you and others in your situation!
Keep praying God wio not let you Down be there
JESUS CHRIST is the only Saviour of the World
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely, I come quickly, Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
... and the whole earth wondered after the beast; ...
Well Jesus is the not the true Almighty God
I guess that there is going to be a lot of people in hell don't you think??
@@danieltorrens4954 well all those who worship Jesus as the true Almighty God is going hell
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 ❤❤
How are you doing ?❤
😭😭🥺
I'm busy running the race of my life. I'm being persecuted at work by workers of iniquity. My case against them is next month. I can only stand strong in Jesus, he is my only hope and salvation. Jesus Christ is my rock. Without him I am nothing.
May God help you through
I'm so sorry I too am batteling a massive fight and emotionally it's stressing me out so much. May god be with you.. us
Prayers up! 🙏
@@annayoder4332 Stand strong in Jesus and trust on him.
@@spiderbow4599 ❤
Wow!!!! Lord help me to run this race for YOU!!!!
Thanks Joe. "For me, living is Yeshua and dying is gain" Philippians 1:21 Praise Elohim.
The entire world need Jesus Christ
But we know that's not how it works.
If the world had accepted God in the beginning then Jesus would have never Been born
His name is Yahusha. Our savior
Amen
Amen! Absolutely true!
And Joel Kirby lol
One of the greatest examples of Christian commitment to Christ from an athlete!
A great man of God!
Athletes today should look to his legacy and example!
I cried tears of love through this whole video my brother 🥲 Thank you for the telling of this story, and thank you for your faithfulness to our Father... The MOST HIGH 🙏🏼🕊️💖
Me, too 😊
God bless you Susie, I'm so glad you found this video helpful! - Joe
He soooo received his crown!!!! The Lord said "welcome you good and faithful servant".
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.
Thank you Joe! So very inspiring an encouragement during these days when so many things can take our eyes off of serving our Saviour.
What an amazing story! When I was a child I heard my father mention the flying Scotsman but I never knew the story behind it. I’m sure Eric went to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus! Whatever we may gain on earth is not comparable to what awaits us in glory!!! Thank you Joe for that beautiful story!
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'
I'm from the united states....Pennsylvania....bless you joe for all you do thank you for hanging in there when things are tough the lord takes your hand and is with you always
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.
Thank you for sharing this inspirational story!!! ❤
thank you for watching 😎

Thank you Joe I needed this ❤️🙏
Jesus Loves Y’all
Thank you Joe! This touched me deeply. This missive was highly relatable to so many. May God continue to bless you and your family, through your ministry. ❤🙏✝️🕊️
Watching from South Africa. I love your channel Joe. Thanks for sharing informative truth. This is such a beautiful story. God bless you, your family and ministry
What a great testimony, I am 82 years old and I have bedridden after 2 strokes I always find great comfort in your posts God bless you my friend 😊
May the Lord bless you! I'm 68 & nearly bedbound as well, though for different reasons. My heart goes out to you my Friend. Just remember, this too shall pass & then we will be whole & hearty & at the foot of the Throne! Jesus never breaks His Promises!🛐🙏✝️
Very inspiring - a challenge and sacrifice for his wife and daughter too.
I’m from Scotland and never knew this until now ! 🤯
Watch the movie 'Chariots of Fire'.
Former US President Donald Trump has roots to Scotland 🏴 too.
Do some research on the Hebrides Revival and you'll be amazed why he ended up President of the most powerful country on the planet.
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.
You have such a gift, and you are a gift to many. I hope you know you're very much appreciated. God bless you. ❤
God bless You
Thank you for this video. It reminds us to witness for Christ, and shows us a hero of the faith.
Fantastic, just what my weary spirit to hear. God bless you and your talent of causing my eyes to rain.
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!!!
Love this story of faith ❤
That was fantastic. That was a story. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing and singing thank you so much.
Thank you, Eric! For showing me what is most important! Souls and more souls!
You are such a wonderful blessing…thank you 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Great video Joe! ❤
thank you for the encouragement
Such a wonderful sharing! Thank you!❤😊
Thank you so much for this video. It is very meaningful to me right now, today. God bless snd keep you. Praying for you. 🙏🙏
Lovely absolutely beautiful and lovely man this Eric Little.
To God be the Glory! If you won’t stand for something, you will fall for anything! I would rather stand for God any day! Thank you Joe!
That was a beautiful video !!! Thanks !!!!
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
Great one Joe. Never knew this story. Years in my eyes. These stories are so special and so encouraging. Thank you
Try to do your best 🕊and don’t worry about tomorrow🕊Thank you 🫶 good day🙏
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.
jesus chris is king!
Another great one Joe! I thank you...🫂
I wish I was more like Erik
My Grampa gave up everything he had- alot of $$ to go to ElSalvador to be a missionary. He ran that mission for 42 years. He died last June @ 94. He never looked back.
@@user-ty2xv6xw8j respects to him
Always fantastic! Thanks Joe, from Iowa, USA. 🇺🇸
Aww what a beautiful message to Liddle. He chose God over anything else. That’s amazing! He made the perfect choice and love Christ. I guess he was called
Home as he died early!
Thanks for the video Joe!
Thank you, Mahalos from Hawaii! I've always been inspired by Eric's story, having watched "Chariots of Fire" more than once. You emphasized so much more! I feel rejuvinated and I so appreciate your faith!
Awaiting Yeshua!
❤ Mimi Levi
I love u brother.
Great story and message brother Joe. We need to share Jesus every where we are in any way possible and as the saying goes use words when needed. God bless you and your family.
Your Videos are great! Well done! Keep up the good work.
Great message, man. So much love from AZ, USA. Your videos have helped me in my relationship with God so much. You have no idea. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Arizona too 👍
Thank you for sharing these videos they are really encouraging
Thankyou for sharing this inspirational video.
🙏🏼❤❤❤🙏🏼
Thank you so much my brother. What a great message.
Very powerful, very moving, very encouraging. Thank-you for sharing Joe.
Hallelujah!🙏🏾♥️
Just wonderful, brother. Ty.👍🏼🙏🏼💙
Amen Brother! ✝🙏🏿📖
God bless you and keep you, my brother. Another thought-provoking video.
Some of the best messages are on this channel thank you.
Beautiful message. Let us run with endurance the race before us. Run to Jesus. Thanks, Joe.
If you haven’t already please do a video on Derek Redman who became famous for coming in last at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. This is one of my favorite sermon illustrations; how that even when we are hurt and in pain our father will help us across the finish line.
You look a lot like the subject of the video lol... My family and I enjoy your ministry. Blessings to you and yours 🙏🏽❤
You're not the first to say that lol! I just wish I could run as fast as him!!
@@offthekirb😂
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
- Philippians 4:13
Amen in Jesus name
Thank you our brother
I'm from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Joe, thank you for this inspiring message! I always love listening to your videos. I choose the path of God!! He has blessed my husband and I in some pretty hard times. We prayed together, and we never lost our faith that he had something better planned for us! Everything is in HIS timing..not ours! God bless!
Great video (as always) Eric saw the world's fame/success as a vapor but he knew what God's reward would be everlasting. I'm getting old so my time is short but I will make every effort to run my race harder, day by day!
❤
This was beautiful. Thank you for making this video for us all. God bless you and your family always, Joe. 🙏🕊️✝️🤗
Blessings to you and your family Joe. Love your channel and thank you for all your hard work ♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
I will run this race for Jesus
Amen! He ran the race and got his real reward- the most valuable one in Christ! Thanks for the story!
The conviction is pouring on me.
Brother and Joe, always appreciate your content. Amazing Job!
I started crying while watching this. God's glory is beyond words! Thank you Joe for sharing!
Wow! A heart warming and encouraging story that clearly shows the important priorities in this life.
I will do it! I will continue running towards Jesus. Praise the Lord for your life Joe!
Thanks for sharing the story of Eric Liddell. Very inspiring.
I have tears running down my face from this story. Thank-You so much for sharing this.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this sister Shirley! All glory to God!
Amen. You have a beautiful way of putting your videos together! God bless & thank you ❤
Wow Joe that picture of the 2 guys kinda resembles YOU in old clothes. 😊 God bless you brother and keep up the great work 👍 🙏
I heard of Eric Liddell many years ago and I was amazed at the stance he took for the Lord and I admired him greatly. In my estimation, he died a greater hero in that internment camp than someone winning a race because he won souls to Jesus and that will be his eternal reward, which no man can take away. Jim Elliot, who was also a missionary, said these words, "a man is no fool who gives up that which he cannot keep, to keep that which he cannot lose." He was killed by those to whom he brought the gospel. I thank God for the lives of both of these truly great men. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for running the race and winning souls for Christ, with true stories of devoted love like this one. I found it a timely inspiration to get back on track in my own life. You are truly blessed in your mission.
Wow this man’s story is so inspiring, and you told it so well! 👏🏻
Thank you, for so much extraordinary and helpful content❣️Helpful, not loosing track.
Greetings from Germany 🙋🏻♀️ Nicola
Keep up the good work. You are blessed and needed‼️
May the Lord always be with you and your loved ones 🙏🏻❤️
Such a good point. All the GLORY to our LORD & SAVIOR.Thank YOU FATHER.👑💙
