My reading assignment for Christian Bloggers

I have found quite a few good Christian bloggers out there. Reading these blog entries are usually thought provoking, and encourages you to open your bible. Unfortunately reading the comments on these blogs can drive you crazy. Nearly every church, every pastor, and every ministry has some critic out there who is absolutely convinced that they are the the devil incarnate.

BibleGateway.com Passage Lookup: Acts 18:24-28;

24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a] and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately.

27 When Apollos wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On arriving, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed. 28 For he vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ

I wish the critics would think a little more like Priscilla and Aquila. There are a lot of believers and pastors out there who are quite passionate and persuasive. The fact that they leave something out or 'glossed over' some truth doesn't mean that they should be discarded. They should be respectfully encouraged and challenged.
