Bible Note: Rowdy There are many things the reformers backed away from or embraced that aren't readily known, because they don't serve the desires of those that think they know the answers. I love this new quote I found today. "The most learned, acute and diligent student cannot, in the longest life, obtain an entire knowledge of this one volume. The more deeply he works the mine, the richer and more abundant he finds the ore; new light continually beams from this source of heavenly knowledge, to direct the conduct and illustrate the work of God and the ways of men; and he will at last leave the world confessing that the more he studied the Scriptures, the fuller conviction he had of his own ignorance and of their inestimable value." Sir Walter Scott I'm particularily taken with the last part because it is so very true!! EdB |
