***Who ordained the Apostle Paul?***

Here is an interesting question I often ask people. “How many times was the Apostle Paul shipwrecked? Most say once in Acts. They forget that Paul says he was shipwrecked three times.

2Cr 11:25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

That is three times before he was shipwrecked in Acts. This shows me that Paul was not resting on his laurels between his 3 missionary journeys but had many more journeys not recorded. Who knows how many other churches he founded without us knowing about them.

I always enjoy it when I see something new. Thanks.
