God's children should delight in understanding. When a professing believers displays an unteachable spirit and shows no desire to learn and grow, they are acting the part of a FOOL. https://bbfohio.com

A lack of understanding is being blinded or groping in the dark. The eyes being opened and blindness more or less in the New Testament is metaphorically for spiritual blindness, not necessarily Him literally opening eyes and understanding but figurative for understanding awareness, not slumbering and sleep but vigilant, sober and watchful.

In this section of the book of Acts, Luke finalizes his recording of Paul's second missionary journey. Then, he takes the listeners back to Ephesus, where an exciting interaction transpires between Priscilla Aquila, and Apollos.

In the morning we will consider "Covenant Family Foundations" from Proverbs 1.8, 9. Here's the theme: "Covenant children follow godly parents for beauty and holiness."

Lord willing, we will return to our journey through Mark next week.Scripture Reading: Proverbs 1:1-19 Text: Proverbs 1:8-9 Message: "Covenant Family Foundations" Theme: Covenant children follow godly parents for beauty and holiness By grace, parents will be leading their children in godly instruction By grace, parents will be leading their children in godly example In honorableness, covenant children will remain teachable For biblical successfulness, covenant children remain teachable

Fervor and accuracy are offered to all who are in Christ! It is good to have both, but one without the other can give room to worldliness. In this passage, we have an account on how Apollos had much fervor, but fell short in accuracy. Aquila and Pricilla, however, took him aside and explained the way of God more accurately (v.26). Apollos along with Aquila and Priscilla exemplified how we must be willing to lovingly receive correction and to lovingly correct each other; We must work together to sharpen one another. Fervency and accuracy then come with faithfulness and consistency through the Holy Spirit by the grace of God!

Refusal to be teachable and receive wisdom from God's word and from Biblical counselors is nothing short of self-destructive. That is the bottom line as we discuss this Proverb. https://bbfohio.com

Introduction What is the Primary Way We Worship God? (Rom 12:1) How Does Our Thinking Impact our Christian Living?
