Paul’s world and certainly the Corinthian church suffered from the obsession of polished communicators carrying some charismatic flair. Sound familiar?
What was Paul’s response?
“I do not think I am in the least inferior to those ‘super-apostles’. I may indeed be untrained as a speaker, but I do have knowledge. We have made this perfectly clear to you in every way.” 2 Corinthians 11:5-6
How do we become a ‘super-apostle’?
- Eloquence over effectiveness. It’s not what you know it’s how you say it. How you look is everything. These are the truths to hold on to if you want to become super.
- Speak more about your strengths than your weaknesses. Awareness of other people and not yourself. Hold on to these truths if you can any to become super.
But who really wants to be known as a super this or that? The Apostle certainly didn’t.
