Preston, I would like to think that my heart is similar to yours. Amen.

No one does, Crystal. That's one reason public correction usually incites argument, and is generally not helpful. We talk about the pride of the one who doesn't accept such correction. I've always thought the bigger pride issue is in the ones who seek to do the "correcting". 

Amen MarJay...the Holy Spirit's guidance is to be discerned and followed.

Good point, TM. Priscilla/Aquila treated Apollos w/dignity and respect. It's always a shame when we fall short of that example. I've fallen short myself a few times, unfortunately.

Hi  Mike n Laura ~
Your blog is blessed.  Just to give a little bit of balance to the equation, I have noted just a few (tip of the iceberg) Holy Scriptures to show some of the Technique of some of the Most Holy People ever to live.  Here is the method used by them in writing and preaching:

John The Baptist:  7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Jesus:  66Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Jesus:   Mark 7:27
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

Jesus:  44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

St. Peter:  Acts 8:20
But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Stephen:  51Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

St. James: 

 1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

 2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
 3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.

St. Paul:  19Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

 20Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Jude 1:12
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;...8Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh,... 13Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Stu....great point. Priscilla/Aquila were a WONDERFUL example of a married couple ministering together, jointly. I too hope Laura and I can be so mature and harmonious in our testimony and ministry.

There is a sweetness and wholesomeness to communication borne out of humility and love. When I see it I recognize it and give praises to our heavenly Father, from whom the gift of pure communication comes. Thanks Glenn, I yearn for that too!

Preston, your wisdom is refreshing and welcome. :)
