PAUL’S APPROACH TO DEALING WITH YOU
Second Corinthians 10.3-5


1A.  PAUL’S PERSONAL STRATEGY DECLARED (10.3-4a)

1B.  His walk (3a) - Paul is a normal, frail, human being.

2B.  His warfare (3b-4a) - But he doesn’t do things like others do.

Note: Paul’s was an offensive strategy in doing spiritual business.



2A.  PAUL’S PERSONAL STRATEGY DETAILED (4b-5)

1B.  First comes the siege

1C.  The purpose of the siege - to pull down strongholds (4b)
Imagine a fortress pulled down with grappling hooks.

2C.  The parallel of the siege - to cast down imaginations and high things (5a)
But Paul speaks of your thoughts and your pride.

2B.  Then comes the seizure (5b)
As vanquished armies are paraded in celebration of victory, so wrong thoughts are brought to bow before Christ when a sinner gets converted.
