If your church would not hire him, then you are not alone. From what I understand, no church hired him in that day, either! He was not a "preacher-for-hire". He worked day and night as a tent-maker to support his self, and made the gospel available free of charge. How many would be willing to do that today?

I believe the church has a problem today. We wouldn't hire the Paul the Apostle today because we need to have perfect, long term, entertaining, popular and "can get the job done" in our way and in our cultural setting so people will feel like coming to our church! Hey, can't get the people to come to church, can't get em saved anyway, right??! No wonder Paul couldn't stay very long in one place! Too muc
