Still wondering about Apollos Some on you know I wrote a book called Meet With Me in 2010 I wrote the book with just questions in it from the Bible. Why is it just questions you may ask. In Deuteronomy it says, "If you search for Me with your whole heart you will find me." When you are searching you ask questions. When you are learning you ask questions. When you learn a new job you ask questions? When you are looking for a place while driving you "sometimes" stop to ask questions? So that is my reasoning for the book like journal called, "Meet With Me" My hope and prayer for everyone is seek Him, ask questions and above all seek answers from the Living active word called the Bible! Back to Apollos? Do you think he was a man who knew it all or was he continueing to learn? What happened when Priscilla and Aquila spoke to Him about God more accurately? Did he listen? As I read it again it hit me again that we need other people in our lives
More wonderings ... from Acts 18:18-28... Do you every wonder what makes a smart person? Is it college? Is it eating all natural foods? Is it following Dave Ramsey to a tee? Is it making enough money to fulfill every desire? I it giving it all away and living on the street? What is it? What makes a person smart? The question I found in my study from Acts 18:18-28 was.."Who was Apollos and was he a smart man?" This is the answer I found from the Bible (ESV version) He was an elequent man, competent in the scriptures, He had been instruected in the way of the Lord and he spoke accurately of the things of Jesus. As I wonder what makes a smart man I wonder if a part of it could be who is our instructor? Sometimes I find myself instructing me (and that is always interesting and kinda lonely), and sometimes I find the world instructing me (fear oftens finds its way in this way), and sometimes I find myself instructed by what others think (love the people pleasing way)
