Tony Perkins

Teaching Truth – Man as Instructor

“Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus… So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.” - Acts 11:19-20, 25-26 ESV

Life is a matter of building. Each of us has the opportunity to build something -- a God-honoring life, a secure family, a good reputation, a rewarding career. But some of those things can disappear almost overnight due to bad decisions, self-inflicted setbacks, and other unforeseen difficulties. What about our legacy? What are we to do with those whom God has entrusted to us? Daniel Webster offered excellent advice:

“If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work on brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work on men’s immortal minds, if we impress on them high principles, the just fear of God, and love for their fellow-men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.”

From the very beginning of the early church, we read that they “devoted themselves to the apostles teaching” (Acts 2:42). It seems that the very lifeblood of the early church was to read and understand the Scriptures. Yet these new believers needed someone to teach and disciple them. In Barnabas and Paul, the Lord had called and gifted these men of God for this very moment in the life of the church! These men functioned as “Instructors” who brought to the believers in Antioch the needed explanation, clarification, and application of the word of God.
