Listen, Jack, here's the deal on 2 Corinthians 10. My father used to say that Paul was literally a man of many words, and I'm not joking when I say this chapter is no exception. He starts off talking about boasting and being proud, and I tell you what, he's not gonna let anyone forget it. You know, boasting is a bit like showing off, so Paul's basically saying, c'mon, man, don't do it! Or, uh, you know, don't be too hard on yourself if you do; that's what he meant.

He also talks about how we should measure ourselves by the standards of the Lord, not by our own. He said, and I'm not making this up, that our weapons aren't like those of the world. We use spiritual weapons to do spiritual battle, so don't worry about all the malarkey out there. Paul wants us to use the Lord's power to destroy the devil's strongholds, and that's the deal.

But, folks, here's the thing. Paul was preaching to the Corinthians way back then, and his message is still relevant today. We can all learn to use the Lord's power and defeat the devil's strongholds. That's what this chapter is all about, and I'm not joking. See here, Jack, it's a message we can all take to heart. What was that? Oh, yeah, no malarkey. Excuse me.
