Appropriate or suitable in the circumstances. Having a tendency to do something. These sentences are the definitions of the word "apt" that a certain dictionary gives. We as servants of the LORD shouldn't be oblivious to questions unbelievers may have, concerning GOD, the Bible, and especially salvation. How we answer could benefit or jeopardize where they spend eternity! How will they learn if we aren't *APT TO TEACH*? How will the babes in CHRIST grow spiritually, if you can't answer their question while being saved yourself for the past 20 years. It's time to grow up, Saints. We must learn
more and more about GOD, through studying HIS WORD, applying what we've studied, praying to HIM, and walking in HIM. This enables us to then take what we've learned through these experiences, and thus *teach* those unlearned.
