But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
Philippians 1:18 NIV
Paul's in prison, and some people seem to be taking his place and preaching - some because it's the right thing to do - and others to gain power and prestige - some celebrity pastors it seems! Today they'd be on TV. Twitter. Instagram.
But Paul didn't care so much about their motives as long as Jesus was being preached. As long as the Good News was getting out there.
I can be quick to judge, but Paul says - are they preaching Jesus? If yes, be happy about it - after all none of us are completely pure of heart...
