Apostle Paul

Mandino calls the Apostle Paul, The Greatest Salesman in the World, a fictional tale that serves as a motivational guide about life and success. Mandino’s subtle message is effective and clear; earthly riches may be achieved, but true success comes from living the Christian principles and seeking personal transformation. Through his own conversion and suffering, Paul became the top Gospel salesman, the broker for Christian unity, and God’s instrument for the Great Commission. Saint Paul 's…

crucified present from a distant land was either a stumbling block to self-righteousness or foolishness to a Platonian gnostic culture, what can be said to instill confidence to someone who has never met? The book of Romans, written from Corinth by the Apostle Paul to the Roman church in 56-57 A.D. is considered one of the best expositions of the Gospel (Hindson & Towns 2016). This exposition, inspired by the Holy Spirit, strengthen the faith of the Roman believers, and strengthen the worldview…

The Lord had completely changed the life of Apostle Paul. Paul used to persecute the church. Then, God opened his eyes and revealed the truth of Christ to him. He took Paul’s education and gift of rhetoric for the advancement of His church. Part of God’s plan for Paul was Paul’s stay in Athens, a city of intellectualism and paganism. Here, Paul was “greatly distressed” by the number of idols around him. He tried to reason with the locals, to show them the same Truth that had been revealed to him…

continuing to torture him more afterwards. Taunting him, trying to break him down until his entire being is but a lifeless doll. Yeah, that sounds like a good example. “Oh how time flies by when you’re having fun!” “Not everyone has the same type of fun, Paul.”Blood was splattered across the ground. A thin line of blood trailed down the side of the boy’s mouth. He looked up to come face to face with a dark stillness. It took a few moments before his eyes began to adjust to the murkiness of the…

As a Christian, it is incredibly important to have a strong Biblical foundation so we can have a Christ like world view. The natural world: The world we live in was created by the…

The Apostle Paul was being annoying to the Romans by preaching Christianity and giving them hope of freedom from oppression. But because he was a Roman citizen, it was not lawful for him to be beaten, though I think he was beaten anyway. Our modern culture has adapted from the Romans use of the census to calculate population, citizenship, and use of resources. The…

characteristic of a Pauline leadership theory includes an orientation toward service. In his letter to the Romans, Paul calls himself “a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle […](Romans 1;1), while indicating that he is “obligated” (Romans 1:14) to those he has been called to share the Gospel. This is unmistakably an element of Paul’s own perspective of his role as an apostle, and as a servant of Christ. This duality of mission and obligation to those who are in need of the Gospel…
