From the Pulpit...

In the church ministry, a big part of what we do is to equip one another to live the Christian life in the face of a hostile world, and to give the gospel to those around us because everyone needs it. But this is not easy and there is a lot of pressure to clam up or change the message to make it “easier” for non-Christian people to accept it.

How did the apostle Paul manage this sort of problem? I read what he says in the opening verses of 2 Corinthians 4 as giving us five ways that he managed to stay faithful to God in the face of pressure.
