More Accurately

Acts 18

24 Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew the Scriptures well, had arrived in Ephesus from Alexandria in Egypt. 25 He had been taught the way of the Lord, and he taught others about Jesus with an enthusiastic spirit and with accuracy. However, he knew only about John’s baptism. 26 When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately.

I love this story from the book of Acts. It resonates with me as an adherent of the Restoration Movement. While Apollos knew about Jesus, he didn’t know the whole story. Yet, when he encountered Aquila and Priscilla, they took him under their wings and explained the way of God even more accurately to him. As a result, he became a bold proclaimer of the WHOLE Gospel. there are many well-meaning folks today who have never been told the WHOLE Gospel. They only know what they have been taught by those who, for whatever reasons, have decided to water down the Word of God with man made doctrine. It is my pleasure and great privilege to lovingly guide folks to the Bible as the sole source of doctrine, so that they, like Apollos, may have the way of God explained to them more accurately.
