Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.Education and knowledge have always been important to me, because I believe that you can't make informed decisions unless you're aware of the situation's background. I like to think that I am a reasoned and reasoning person most of the time, and that I make my decisions based on knowledge and analysis, not emotion and reaction. I'll admit I have biases, but I try to account for them as much as possible, and make decisions accordingly.
As such, I often worry that I'm wise in this world, but foolish before Christ. I've noted in this blog many times where I don't understand why something was done the way it was, or why some passage or term didn't make sense to me. I worry that these issues are holding me back from truly being useful to God, but I honestly don't know how to change without becoming someone I wouldn't like.
