Trinity United Methodist Church Daily Scripture Email Devotion for Wednesday, 26 November 2014 "Persistent Persuasion"
So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back - not to mention that you owe me your very self. I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in The Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask (Philemon 17 - 21)
Paul is playing "hard ball" now, isn't he? Wow - "not to mention that you owe me your very self"! Still, he leaves the ultimate choice up to Philemon, but he presses his case with great intensity.
