Bending and Knowing
by Reed on May.29, 2008, under Thoughts
Over my life as a Christian I have grown – though still need to grow substantially more – in my ability to bend in the direction of God’s Word and in knowing the God in whom we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). On these themes, this quote seems quite true to me intellectually and experientially:
We need to be constantly reminded … that theological knowing is inseperable from the life of obedience and faith. It is fostered through worship and prayer – those practices by which we submit ourselves to the Word and Spirit of God – and is borne of humility before the Word.
