By Harry Ironside But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. (2 Corinthians 1:18) The opening verses of this chapter are, I think, a bit ironical. The apostle Paul had been used of God for the conversion of these Corinthians. Into that godless city—one of the vilest cities in … [Read more…]
