Emphasis Preaching Journal

God appointed Paul. He did not take on this responsibility by himself. Because God considered Paul faithful, he gave him the strength for the job. His background sounds terrible! He had only been "faithful" in hurting and killing Christians before. But he acted in ignorance -- and unbelief. Do we have that excuse? No Christian can claim ignorance if we grew up in the faith and (or) learned it in church and Sunday school. So we had better be careful. If God can use a man like Paul was, then he can use us, so we dare not make excuses.
