What about the Grits?

I am currently reading a biography by Chuck Swindoll on the life of Paul. I must admit that as a teenager, Paul was one of my least favorite people in the Bible. I thought him to be arrogant and a know it all. But after reading Chuck's take on the man, I realized how incredibly humble Paul really was. He preferred to boast about his weaknesses than his strengths. How many people do you see do that nowadays?
He had passion and grit that matched few anywhere with an amazing preaching ability. But the thing that stands out most is his leadership ability. He never had the focus on himself; it was always on Christ. Paul stands as a reminder that the Bible is full of heroes that we can learn from over two thousand years later.
Serving Christ,
Graham
