Living With Power

Last week, we began exploring ten principles for living based on Paul’s missionary journeys and messages. Today, we’ll wrap up our discussion on his life manifesto. Here’s what Paul’s life was all about: Serve with humility despite what you think you deserve. Be bold in preaching the gospel despite the persecution. Focus on the message despite the improbability of the hearers. Be compelled by the Spirit despite not knowing what lies ahead. Be abandoned to the faith despite a wretched past. Be attentive to the flock despite the attack. Be attached to the Word despite the distractions. Be dependent on the Lord despite your desperate need. Fix your eyes on the Lord despite the threat of the future. Be thankful for the prison because of the opportunity (to testify to others). P.S.
