Ac18

How often does a verse come to your mind when you are in an everyday conversation?  Do you use it, or hold back?  Apollos was a man who knew the scriptures.  When he spoke he was very convincing with his words because he spoke the "word of God".  Even when his doctrine was off, he was very convincing!  When Priscilla and Aquila showed him a "more excellent way" (speaking of Jesus), he became a powerful spokesman for Christ.

It is so important for us to know the bible.  It is the word of truth and the word of God.  There are no words more powerful than the words of God Himself and when we know scripture, we actually can speak God's words.  Hebrews teaches us that, "the word of God is living and active and sharper than a two-edge sword." This is another reason we should spend time reading it, studying it, memorizing it and meditating on it.

Knowing scripture is not enough!  We must obey it and share it.  It is one thing to know your bible.  It is a completely different thing to obey it and share it with others.  Choose to obey today.  What do you already know that you are still refusing to obey?  Make a different choice.

Live and share God's word.
