A little knowledge and an over-abundance of zeal always tends to be harmful. In the area involving religious truths, it can be disastrous.
Knowledge
A W Tozer
Just because you know something, doesn’t mean you have experienced it.
Beth Moore
Wisdom is knowledge applied. Head knowledge is useless on the battlefield. Knowledge stamped on the heart makes one wise.
Matt McClinnen
Be easy on yourself for what you didn’t know back when you didn’t know it. God isn’t looking for encyclopedias, but children who are willing to learn and mature.
Bill Johnson
Knowledge of truth that is unapplied eventually deadens us to the full impact of those specific truths. Strangely, we become insulated from the conviction of the Holy Spirit concerning the truths we understand the most if they have not impacted our lifestyle.
Catherine Marshall
So many people never pause long enough to make up their minds about basic issues of life and death. It’s quite possible to go through your whole life, making the mechanical motions of living, adopting as your own sets of ideas you’ve come to any conclusion for yourself as to what life is all about.
Thomas a Kempis
Do not be influenced by the importance of the writer, and whether his learning be great or small, but let the love of pure truth draw you to read. Do not inquire, Who said this? but pay attention to what is said.
Samuel Johnson
Mankind has a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
John Milton
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
A. W. Tozer
God will not hold us responsible to understand the mysteries of election, predestination, and the divine sovereignty. The best and safest way to deal with these truths is to raise our eyes to God and in deepest reverence say, “0 Lord, Thou knowest.” Those things belong to the deep and mysterious Profound of God’s omniscience. Prying into them may make theologians, but it will never make saints.
