Paul: For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Hekuran
Faithful Brother in Christ
I dug up the full quotation, which helps make better sense of it. He's talking about evangelism.
We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.

Yes Brother Hekuran, it is not our mission to make the gospel acceptable to people. We are here as Christians to present the words of Jesus, who said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Without the Way, there is no Going, without the Truth there is no Knowing, and without the Life there is no living.
Dear Stephen,
Well said.
How have you been?
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
