Sensitive Knowlege

"...knowing isn't everything. 

If it becomes everything, some people

end up as know-it-alls who treat others

as know nothings. 

Real knowledge isn't that insensitive."

1 Corinthians 8:7 msg

•

He gave up His rights —

everything is His, 

power, majesty, glory and honor.

And yet, 

for me, 

He set it aside.

He knows all —

yet patiently leads and 

teaches me in my ignorance.

He bends down,

reaches out,

lifts up.

Growing in knowledge and freedom —

but also in love and patience.

Nurture.

Model.

Guide.

Fan into flame.

Draw alongside.

"We sometimes tend to think we know all 

we need to know to answer 

these kinds of questions — 

but sometimes our humble hearts can 

help us more than our proud minds.

We never really know enough until we 

recognize that God alone knows it all."

1 Corinthians 8:1-3 msg

•

"But God does care when you use your freedom

carelessly in a way that leads a 

Christian still vulnerable to those old associations

to be thrown off track."

1 Corinthians 8:9 msg

•

"If I speak God's Word with power, 

revealing all His mysteries and

making everything plain as day, 

and if I have faith that says to a mountain,

"Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love,

I'm nothing.
