Copy of Episode 572 The Value and Struggle for True Christian Leadership - Part I

One critical example is the struggle to maintain true leadership in Corinth. In order to fully understand the books of Corinth in the Bible, one must better see the full context. Because of false apostles that crept in after Paul's departure, he is forced to defend his authority to lead. One will more fully benefit from and understand II Corinthians when seen in this context. They challenge whether he is a real apostle and his veracity regarding missed visits. Paul begins with saying he somewhat regrets having to send strong letters of reprimand.
