II Cor .1:21,22
5/5/85
Paul is responding to some charges that have been made against him.
He had announced some plans to come to Corinth. He was unable to come and did
not come. Because of that his enemies latched on to that and said that proves
Paul is an unstable man. He says one thing and he does another thing. You
can't depend on him. His yes doesn't mean yes and his no doesn't mean no. So,
as Paul is responding to that, right in the very middle of it, he give us
this beautiful passage of how wonderful it is to have Jesus in our lives.

said, Paul, you are fickle, you can't be depended upon, your life is a very

Paul says in verse 21 that God is making us strong in Christ. He is saying
that when you come to know the Lord as your Savior, God gives to you in your
heart the potential to be strong and stable in life. There are basically two

chaff. Every wind that blows by just carries them away. They don't have any
strength, they don't have any stability, there are no roots in their lives.1
