Demonstrated by the Scriptures.

(Through this Second one I learn much about Apollos)
Chris.
Apollos was a humble and teachable man even when serving the
Lord. He wanted to learn, he wanted to be correct. When he was teaching
something that was not correct Aquila and Priscilla took him to one side and
explained the correct way. The Church needs humble servants like Apollos and Bible/Church
loving leaders like Aquila and Priscilla.
