Exodus 34:4-35; Psalms 85:1-86:17; Acts 20:17-38
Therefore take heed to yourselves. Acts 20:28 NKJV
This passage records admonitions that Paul gave to the elders of the church in Ephesus. He warned of attacks from outside the church, and of dangers within—men seeking a following. Though addressed to elders, there is a danger of complacency about these issues among all those in a local fellowship. Hence, this warning to take heed to yourselves applies to all. The rest of Paul’s address exposes areas where believers may slip by not following the warnings he gives: the danger of neglecting the Word; the appeal of materialism; wrong priorities; selfishness, prayerlessness, and a lack of love. We need to watch and remember to take heed to ourselves about all these things. —Gary McBride
