1 | True Godliness Promotes Knowledge | Col 1:10 | DocTrinsograce | 151445 | ||
"We sometimes approach evangelistic apologetics as though unregenerate men did not love their sin. We speak and act as though an intellectual defense of the faith will somehow impart to the rebellious a desire for holiness. It does not. We argue with them, assuming that they would want to submit to this truth, if only they knew it to be truth. But they do know it is true, and they don’t want to submit to it. At this point, many evangelists and apologists may be tempted to walk away in despair. "This is why a revival of godliness will always produce a revival of learning. It does not flow the other way; learning does not produce godliness. Knowledge puffs up. But love builds up, and one of the things it builds up is knowledge. This is also why an abandonment of godliness will eventually destroy learning." --Douglas Wilson |
