This ministry at Corinth is different than at other places. First, Paul has the strong words for the Jews, rather than the Jews having the upper hand. Further, the magistrate practices "separation of church and state" and does not oppose Paul. This, of course, fits what the Lord said to Paul in the vision. How confusing we might think! How are we to know how to minister since every situation will be different? In answer to the question we must agree that the answer will not come from the "cookie-cutter" approach of the latest pastor's convention. Can we expect God to grant "vision" for each situation? Yes, if we are compelled -- not by the flesh or by men but -- by the Spirit.
