Being a pastor/leader in the church puts a large target on a man’s back. Pastors are often attacked, scrutinized, and criticized. In such times there are put in the awkward position of trying to figure out if, when, and how they should defend themselves. Biblically speaking, should they or shouldn’t they defend themselves? If it isn’t right we shouldn’t do it. If it is right we must do it. God has not left us rudderless. We see a very similar scenario play itself out in the ministry of the Apostle Paul, and Paul dealt with it straight forwardly & publicly. Listen as Pastor Matt considers examines this topic in light of Paul’s ministry to the Corinthian Church.
