More Clearly

 Scripture:

“When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭18‬:‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, Priscilla and Aquila heard Apollos preaching. He was a powerful speaker and quite effective, but they pulled him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately. He was speaking what he knew, but they came along and helped him understand even more clearly. 

Application:

In today’s church we don’t like the idea of someone being confronted about what they are preaching. We tend to just be quiet and let them say things that sound good, but are not quite accurate. A true spiritual father or mother will step in and say something. The church needs more spiritual fathers  and mothers who will step up and say something to help next gen preachers get their theology correct. Every preacher needs a spiritual father or mother they respect who is able to tell them when they are going the wrong direction.

Prayer:

Father, You are faithful and You are good. Help me to be a strong spiritual father to young ministers. Help me to help lead the next generation into truth and to explain the way of God more clearly. Let the end of my life be used to help explain the way more accurately and to be a father who help them stand on solid ground in declaring Your word.

Forever Yours,

Jeff
