Just me trying to be honest with God.

“It is not willingness to know, but willingness to do (obey) God's will that brings certainty.” Eric Liddell

“Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?” Jo.7 ESV

The religious leaders of Christ’s day serve as a sober warning that people can know the Bible but not know God. It is one thing to know about God and entirely another to know Him. And, while Christians are encouraged to let the word of Christ dwell in us richly not poorly, the abundance of His word in us is not measured by how much we know but how much we live by what we know. Some are said to be ever learning but never coming to knowledge of the truth. Others are said to have a zeal for God but lack knowledge. Knowledge is valuable when it serves our love of God not our love of knowledge. 4/27/2010 Conversations Within ts
