Paul finishes out his topic of how the spiritually strong and weak should interact. He then talks about his plan for ministry moving forward. A common thread between the two is Paul’s focus on the most important things, which are loving others and bringing people to Jesus. He will not allow minor issues to interfere with what God is asking him to do.
It’s easy to get distracted by minor issues. Sometimes, at the end of the day, you look back and see lots of activity and nothing accomplished. Sometimes it’s just life, but sometimes it’s a lack of focus on what matters.
