Apostles

     I find it prideful and arrogant when I see people put the word "apostle" in front of their name. They do this for the sake of having a title and status. Consider what Paul has to say about being an apostle:

"For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! 11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;13 being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now." 1Corinthians 4:9-13. 
    
     Look at the people today that call themselves apostles, are they suffering for Christ, considered fools, dishonored? I think they are living quite the opposite to this. There are no more apostles today that is why Paul says they are last. Condemned to death. A spectacle to men and angels. I have not seen any of these self described apostles today living like this. They are prideful not humble. If you really look at Paul and the apostles how they lived and died, beheaded, stoned, crucified, fed to lions, something to consider.
