Acts 8:31 - Additional Comments

Note the eunuch's sincere and open heart to learn and grow. May we come to hear the Word with the same attitude, to learn and be fed. Also, we should be ready for our life to change, and be flexible enough to immediately change when we see a need to. How ready are you to hear truth? How reluctant are you to change?
How great it would be to have someone with a deep understanding of God's word that could explain it to you whenever you had questions. (See web site gotquestions.org.)
