Most people know who Paul was in the Bible. By going on his missionary journeys, he helped to spread the Gospel far and wide across the known world. Paul wrote numerous letters to various churches and to individuals as well. Did Paul talk about himself and how great he was? Hardly. Paul was sure to take the focus off of himself and turn it to Christ.

Take a look at this picture - click it for the full-sized version. So, what does that image show? All of Paul’s writings were analyzed and what you see represented here is the top 150 words from said writings - the bigger the word, the more times it was used.

There really isn’t any doubt as to what was on Paul’s mind when he wrote. If we could strive to have those “big” words on our minds all the time, just think how much better off we would be as Christians.
