You Are as Laid Back as They Come
You are a risk taker. You love to roll the dice on everything.
You are surprisingly easygoing. You like to keep everything as low-pressure as possible.

You like to be in the middle of the action, although you don't purposely seek attention.
You are an easygoing person who feels very comfortable about others.

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

~ Well, Here I Am ~

You Are a Kid at Heart.

You are easily talked into doing silly things. You just love to have fun! You are at times a bit irresponsible. You prefer living in the moment to worrying about tomorrow.

You've been known to act without thinking. You are both spontaneous and impulsive. You are extremely empathetic. If a friend feels a certain way, you end up feeling that way too.

Hmmm, I seem to be a mix of Free as the Wind and Laid Back.
Totally ok with me as I might be a little weird. hehe
Anyhoo, as my FReeper name should tell you,
I'd just as soon be on a totally deserted beach
(or with MR Beachy) with a book...or writing one.

But, please stay right where you are.
Keep the troops and their families entertained.

The Canteen is

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

You Are a Nature Child
At your core, you are individualistic. You are most comfortable flying solo.
You are always keenly aware of your environment. You notice every sight, sound, and smell.

You are unconventional and even a little weird. You refuse to conform.
You are trusting by default. You think people are basically good.
