2 Corinthians 6 "Devotion"

The level of devotion that Paul is displaying and describing is truly remarkable.  To find someone who does this is truly rare.  The line that I find the most interesting is when Paul says in verse 4, we serve God by holding steady.  This does not mean we are always moving forward, though we do need to be at some point if not a lot of the time, but the most important thing is not going backward, not going back to the old way of your life.  You are a new creation, treat your life as such.  This is what I think Paul is trying to say.  I believe it is better to hold strong to God and not falter in your own beliefs than bring others to Christ and spread his word; though this is what God calls us to do and we should not use the former as an excuse to not act when God is leading you.  Prime example Jonah (and the Whale).
