‘Apostle Paul Was Clear And Clean.’
2 Corinthians 12:11-13.
a) 2 Corinthians 12:11; 10:1. Apostle Paul wrote about himself to the Corinthian Believers because they had been listening to lies spoken against him by false ‘apostles’ who were after their money.
b) 2 Corinthians 12:11. The Corinthian Believers had not spoken up for Apostle Paul when he was being spoken against by the false ‘apostles’.
c) 2 Corinthians 12:12. Apostle Paul had led the Corinthian Church into the Ministry of the Holy Spirit as we see in 1 Corinthians Chapters 12-14.
d) 2 Corinthians 12:13. Apostle Paul never made himself a financial burden to the Corinthian Church.
(Through this QT I want to follow a very good example in ministry: Apostle Paul Was Clear And Clean)

The Corinthian Believers were young and new Believers and Apostle Paul was as a spiritual father to them. These Corinthian Believers did not however behave in Biblically good ways and caused many heartaches for Apostle Paul even though he loved them so much and kept on affirming his love for them in his letters. Christianity does not change cultures – that is not the purpose of the Gospel. The purpose of the Gospel is to save men and women from sin and give them New Life in Christ. All culture is fallen and will never be saved. People can be Redeemed, cultures not.
