The Danger of Troublemakers

In the midst of all the various greetings that are being sent back and forth at the end of his letter, Paul provides warnings to us of dangers that will undoubtedly come and instructs us as to how we should respond. In the last chapter of Romans there are four verses that contain a powerful message as to how the church should deal with troublemakers that threaten to bring disunity into the church through their teachings. The solution that Paul provides can be summarized simply as: we must commit to uncompromising holiness when troublemakers come.
