Aquila and Priscilla

"After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to see them, and because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them." Acts 18:1-3

I not only enjoy writing devotionals, I also enjoy Bible study. Reading and writing devotionals does not replace Bible study. All Christians must study God’s Word if they expect to mature in their faith and walk. Going to church, attending church events, serving the Lord, and even witnessing do not replace Bible study. Giving, praying, and being the pastor do not replace studying God’s Word either. Most Christians lack adequate biblical understanding. Let me share a list of ten quick Bible notes from this passage that Christians who study His Word should be able to deduce.

  • 1. God will let us know when to move on when we are in His will.

  • 2. Christians need to utilize what they have in common.

  • 3. When we meet Christians, we make connections quickly.

  • 4. Dynamic couples can especially be used by God.

  • 5. God connects people for a purpose.

  • 6. Jews have been persecuted a lot.

  • 7. Believers should share their homes when God gives opportunity.

  • 8. Showing concern for others can lead to opportunity.

  • 9. Working together is a form of mentoring.

  • 10. Every word in the Word is meaningful.

    I encourage you to get a Study Bible and to get into His Word. It will change your life even more, faster and better. I challenge you to try it. If you feel stuck, please talk to me or any believer you think knows more than you.

    In His Word,
    Pastor Fred
