    in these verses, Paul looks at ways we can either be a blessing or a burden in our churches. The challange is to see which characteristics we possess and which we need to change.

As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, 7 but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. 8 We loved you so much that ...read more
