Call Me Some Names

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Galatians 4:16

The Apostle Paul did not waste many words dishing out correction to believers.  He said what he had to say and, sometimes the message was not well received, as was the case with the Galatians.

I sometimes experience this when I try to help someone and my words are taken as a personal attack by the receiver who then attacks me by calling me a hypocrite and saying I think I am better than they are and saying mean things to me.  

Do I like it?  No.  Will I keep taking the Gospel to those who need to hear it?  Yes.  God has not called us to standby and do nothing.  He has called us to speak up.
