Jesus sees differently but correctly. Jesus understa...

Godly restoration produces encouragement and joy.

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Faithful ministry: Is a gift from a merciful God- so don't lose heart or burn out. Renounces disgraceful, underhanded ways, and openly states the truth.

Satan may be in the dark business of "veiling", but God is in t...

2 Corinthians 1:23-2:11 Points from this passage: Sin is damaging to us and disruptive to our relationships. Though painful, wise confrontation is needed.
