Apostle Paul's Difficulty with Pride

There are two sides to the Apostle Paul's personality. The sinful nature that he carried with him all of his life and the Godly nature that lead him to be one of the most used apostles. That sinful nature caused problems in his ministry and it helped to break his friendship with Barnabas, who was one of his great defenders in his early ministry. His past as a destroyer of the church kept many believers from ever trusting him completely. There is no apostle who was more used and none who struggled more with his present and past sin.
