2 Coríntios 10

William MacDonald - It should be obvious that if a person's only standard is himself, then he is always right! There is no room for improvement. Those who do this are not wise. As has been well said, "It is the bane of all cliques and coteries to ignore all excellence out of their own party." (Believer's Bible Commentary) A T Robertson on they are without understanding - The regular form for present active indicative third plural of suniemi, to comprehend, to grasp....It is a hard thing to see, but it is true. These men do not see their own picture so obvious to others (Ep 5:17; 1Ti 1:7 cf Mk 8:17). . (2 Corinthians 10) Swindoll has some sobering words for all in ministry - I have never seen such vicious and ambitious competition in ministry as I see today in North American Christianity. So many pastors—especially younger ones—compete for the limelight, trying to grow bigger, look better, come across as edgier, cooler, more relevant. Ultimately, they won’t be able to keep up the charade. It takes an incredible amount of energy to pretend to be something that you are not. People need to be who they are. They need to get out of the way and turn the spotlights back onto Jesus. I would say to any and all in ministry, point your fans in His direction, and model authenticity, even if it means people will no longer embrace you as some sort of semidivine superstar. After all, you’re not! (Insights on 1 & 2 Corinthians)
