“There are few things I find more distressing than a Christian who believes they have only knowledge left to learn. You know the kind of person I’m talking about, someone who assiduously attends Bible studies, but only to learn more of how the Bible can reinforce their already unshakeable worldview. Give me the honest doubter, and the questioning believer, any day of the week. True growth in discipleship occurs not through the acquisition of yet more knowledge, but by discovering, and coming-to-terms with, our lack of knowledge. Growth in wisdom does not come easily, and it cannot be bought or downloaded, to be ingested in bite sized daily chunks. Rather, wisdom comes to us from beyond ourselves, it is a gift of grace that we cannot earn and can only discover as we learn more of who we are, and who God is.”
