Unstoppable! 'Devoted to the Apostles' Teaching' — Acts 2:42-46

From our experience teaching university students, both my daughter and I are amazed at how many students do not see academic fraud — a.k.a., cheating — as a "big deal"! Devotion to learning, and especially devotion to applying what is learned, are highly undervalued. This situation leaves young adults exposed and ill-equipped for the rapidly changing world that demands constant learning and incorporation and adaptation of knowledge. An online search can give a lot of information but leave the searcher more bewildered by the information than enhanced by true wisdom and knowledge. In contrast, I have found pockets of disciples all over the world who are committed to the apostles' teaching — to opening the Scriptures, reading the Bible, acquiring the truth from what they have learned, and seeking mentors to help them incorporate and apply what they have learned. This passion, fueled by the Holy Spirit and enhanced by his presence in our lives, helps form us. The apostles were inspired to give us Jesus' truth. The Spirit helps us as we seek to understand and apply that truth. The Spirit is at work among us when we are together and seek the truth. Let's use these early disciples' example to stir us to be devoted to the Scriptures and the apostles' teaching!
