I'd love one of these puppies should my minis ever cross over. I think the red ones would be oh so cute, but like the black and white too.

Eloquent, Yet Humble
October 24, 2012

I admire people who can articulate their beliefs and persuade others with their rhetoric. Some call it “the gift of gab” or “having a way with words.” Others call it “eloquence.”

Apollos had that gift. We are told that he was “an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures” (Acts 18:24). But although he taught accurately about Christ, he preached only of the baptism of John which was a baptism of repentance from sin (v.25; 19:4).

Apollos knew about Jesus’ teachings but may not have known about His death and resurrection and that the Spirit had now come (Acts 2). His teaching was incomplete because he didn’t know about being filled with the Spirit for daily empowerment.

So Priscilla and Aquila, a wife and husband who were friends of Paul, invited Apollos into their home to correct his teaching. Although he was highly educated and knew the Scriptures well, Apollos humbly accepted their instruction. As a result, Apollos was able to continue his ministry, but with newfound understanding.

Psalm 25:9 reminds us that God “guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way” (NIV). If we have a spirit of humility, we can be taught by God and be used to touch the lives of others.

More like the Master I would ever be,
More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true,
More consecration for work He bids me do. —Gabriel

The place of humility is the place of power.

Read: Acts 18:24-28

The humble [God] teaches His way. —Psalm 25:9

Bible in a Year:
Mark 11-13

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Happy Wednesday!

In Honor of Warm and Fuzzy Wednesday, Linda-The-Dog and I went to a Dog Park for the FIRST TIME! She loved it! I was afraid that she would be aggressive, but she related very well to others of her species, and fell in love with a big goofie Newfie. It was that sparkling dollop of drool that did it for her!

Newfies and Labs are such good dogs.

[luvie]

Aww...what a sweetie my “namesake” is! :)

[left that other site]

The Newfie was the size of a PONY! LOL!

[mylife]

A small drooling pony.

Yes, she IS a sweetie...except when defending her Mamma.

Then she’s a BEAST! :-)

[left that other site]

Ha ha Ha!

A small, drooling, shaggy, affectionate pony.

[luvie]

I’ll bet that’s right! Hope she doesn’t have to defend Mamma often! :)

[left that other site]

She wants to defend me from other doggies. I think she’s jealous.

[JustAmy]

Ahhhh .... what a sweetie.

I’ve been gone for sooo long that I’m afraid no one knows who I am. LOL

I’ll try to get back next week.

[JustAmy]

I want one!!!

They are so cute.

[luvie]

Well, that could be. Maybe she knows that they aren’t really as friendly as they seem to be. :)

[JustAmy]

Happy WF Wednesday, everyone.

Sorry that I’ve been away for so many days. I get online very seldom and when I do, I don’t post because I can’t answer all the posts.

I Miss Y’all!!!
