Around 51 AD, the apostle Paul on his missionary journey, travels to Corinth, a huge city of great wealth and diversity. There he lives for 18 months, working as a tentmaker, living with Aquila and his wife Pricilla.

After leaving the City, he writes a letter of encouragement to the new Christians in Corinth which includes the following statement found in the Bible in I Corinthians 2:2: “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”

From this statement we can conclude the Apostle Paul did not care what their politics were, who was right or who was left. He did not care what their social status was, who had wealth, who did or did not have education. He determined that he would preach Christ to all who would listen, delivering the same message, ”Christ and him crucified” to everyone.

God help me to have the same standard as I go about my daily life!
