"For Christ did not send me (Paul) to baptise but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." - I Corinthians 1:17
God did not use Paul because he was very eloquent or persuasive. in fact, he was the opposite! However, Paul always managed to put the spotlight on the power of the message of the gospel, which awakened many in their faith in Christ.
"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redeption, so that, as it is written, Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord." - I Corinthians 1:26-30
let this be an encouragement to all you out there who are shy (like me!), or feel inadequate to serve God. God can use all of us to do mighty works for Him! if only we would believe that the cross alone is able to save our family, frieds, and relatives from sin!
