Bold from a distance
Some has said

++He was bold when writing from a distant
They measures his spiritual strength by a natural boldness
Lowly in Presence
This was not easy
Paul wasn’t ensnared by expectation
Paul wasn’t there to empress them
Paul wasn’t there to meet there expectations
This observations wasn’t Paul’s problem
Paul wasn’t walking the way others thought
According to the flesh
++He should have acted differently
++His authority should have been on display
Paul wasn’t resting on fleshly authority
Paul wasn’t trying to win a natural battle
The Real Fight
++Is not physical
++Is not against flesh and blood
++Is within us
What has kept us from knowing God?
We are not convinced
When things are most important we cannot
++Win an argument with ourself
++Remove our pride in what we know
++Stop ourself from overthinking
We can overcome them through Christ’s obedience
