(2Co 6:3) “Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: (4 ) But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,…(5) In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;” Notice verse 5 contains from persecution, to physical work, to safety concerns, to self denial. Yet, no matter the situation only one overseeing goal is before us – the reputation of Christ. Lord, help us to so live!
