Paul is an example for the ages. His ways, methods and example of life in Christ are as effective today as they were in the first century.
After the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the conversion and subsequent ministry of Paul is viewed by many as the most significant event in promoting and advancing Christianity in the history of the Church.
Henry Blackaby: "America must have a different quality of spiritual leader. More of the same will only lead us further into disaster. We are in the spiritual condition we are as a nation because our spiritual leaders have had a different agenda from God's agenda. The nation is a reflection of God's people. The problem is not with the darkness in our nation. The problem is with the light that should be coming from the churches that should dispel the darkness. Transformational discipleship is required if we are to correct our course."
T Austin Sparks: "The history of generations of missionary enterprise, tens of thousands of missionaries, vast sums of money, immense administrative organizations, and more on the publicity, propaganda, and advocacy side, does not compare favorably with Paul's apostolic course of 33 years."
