Paul has concerns about these people- where their hearts are pointed and their acceptance of him.
Throughout this letter Paul’s tone is turned down a notch from the somewhat ill-received first letter (1 Corinthians).
God desires unity of his followers around him.
Its easy to fall off the rails from straight and narrow to crooked and broad.
Walk with Jesus faithfully and try to assume the best of other Christ-followers.
Sometimes folks seem to hold ill will. But maybe it doesn’t have as much to do with you personally as you think. It’s hard to run from your own heart.
Father, help me represent you accurately.
