Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 9:17) “For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” Paul, as Saul, persecuted saved men and women. He was responsible for making them blaspheme (deny) Christ, and spoke against them sentencing some to die (Acts 26:10-11). When saved, he was “drafted” to give his life in the very ministry he once persecuted. His own heart gave him no other choice (v.16).
