Episode 568: 1 Corinthians 9 Part 4 Buffet Yourself And Stay Away From the Buffet!

Paul was a small man according to how people describe him in 2 Corinthians 10:10. But I think there is a reason for this. He was disciplined in his life just like an athlete. He maintained good health by eating right and getting lots of exercise with all the traveling he is doing. He had to be in shape to endure all the things he suffered, from being stoned, beaten, flogged, and shipwrecked, yet he continued to travel on in the name of Jesus! He practiced what he preached because he didn’t want others to consider him a castaway, which means he didn’t want others to reject his message because the way his body looked or how his life looked. He disciplined himself spiritually and physically for the sake of the gospel.
