2 Corinthians 2:17 (NASB) Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

Today is my birthday. I got a lot of happy birthday texts, Facebook messages and emails from friends and family. I also got emails from businesses; like my dentist office and the eye doctor that I’ve only been to once several years ago. While it is a nice gesture for the dentist office to send me a birthday greeting, it doesn’t come with the same sincerity as the birthday wishes from my friends and family. I can tell it was automatically generated, and no one there actually knows it is my birthday today!

Paul reminds the church at Corinth that God is using each of them, along with himself, to spread the Gospel message to others. And with such an important message, it is important to be sincere in our delivery. People can usually tell the difference.

I pray my faith is seen as sincere by others, so my words will sound sincere as well.

-Kevi
