We are now on paragraph 6 of chapter 8 in the Second Letter to the Orinthians from the book Gospel of One; Letters of Aul.
I'm happy and grateful that Itus is with me on this. It was his idea to go help out with the relief effort. We're also sending a companion along with Itus, someone who is a very popular speaker. He's rock solid in the faith and really gets people fired up with his enthusiastic speaking. We need more people like him. Will you be one? We share our gifts freely in God while taking precaution against scandals of loose living.
Commentary: If you are an eloquent and enthusiastic speaker on the topic of the oneness of life, God can use you. A good speaker can fire up people, get them motivated, and help them feel that they are part of something bigger than themselves. However, if you put yourself out there as a speaker, people will look to see if you walk the talk, so that is why we do our best to always live with compassion and love and honesty in all situations. Scandals can throw a monkey wrench into any organization or movement as well as personal lives.
