Boanerges

Below is one of the greatest testimonies to the love of God manifest in a human being but I am convinced that if Paul was here today he would repremand anyone who put him on a pedestal and direct all the glory to Jesus Christ - I still cannot help but admire the heart that rejoices in his sufferings for the kingdoms sake-

Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

Preacher

I can't wait to shake Paul's hand!!! He is one of my favorites. I especially love this scripture:

2Corinthians 11:21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.


Paul lets us know it is OK to stand our ground.
