"I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls..." 2 Cor 12: 14 I love Charles Spurgeon's advice to his students on the subject of winning souls: "Do not enter this ministry if you can help it. If any student in this room could be content to be a newspaper editor, or a grocer, or a farmer, or a doctor, or a lawyer or a senator, or a king, in the name of heaven and earth let him go his way, his is not the man God has chosen." Oh yes! The soul-winner! A profession more kingly than kingship itself. And the great news is that you, dear Christian, already qualify! Let's take a look...

Exodus 6:7 "I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians." God keeps His promises, He always has and always will.

"...labors...imprisonments...and countless beatings... stoned... shipwrecked... adrift at sea..." 2 Cor 11: 23-27 There are times in life, when trials are intense, that survival alone is glory! Never has that been truer than with the Christian. He shines like a star when he perseveres, even through the worst of adversities. Paul was the ultimate example of this: the ultimate survivor. You need to be one too!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: 2 Corinthians: You the Ultimate Survivor

"For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise." 2 Cor 11: 19 NKJV False teachers and self-appointed "apostles" were taking over the church at Corinth. They came teaching heresies, distorting the Gospel, causing division and slandering the existing leadership. If left unchecked, they would run that church right into the ground. And the Christians at Corinth were just "putting up with it". How sad! Let's learn from this today...
