help us Lord to remember the kind of people you want us to be and help us to be those people so we may better worship, represent, and preach your gospel

The Lord is near, the season is now! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!

It is interesting how Paul wasn't shy about saying how well he had acted in the past, when it was useful for him to do so.
This wasn't pride but an attempt to keep his reputation intact.
If his reputation was damaged, it would have hindered his ability to proclaim the gospel and lead churches.
So he put some effort into defending his reputation.


Generally speaking, Christians shouldn't go out of their way to tell others about the good things they have done.
But there are times when it is actually necessary to do this.

How does his voice sound like that? Is that the holy spirit making his voice like that?
