The world is in desperate need of pastors who will preach the Word of God without watering it down or messaging the text to ensure no one is offended. However, those who do so run the risk of becoming the target of attacks. Not just from those outside the church, but also from those within the church. These bold preachers can weather the attacks if their church rallies around them. However, many preachers will be driven out of their church for preaching boldly (i.e. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards). The apostle Paul was not immune from this. He left Corinth in the face of withering accusations and will address his ill treatment by the church in Corinth in a very personal manner.
