Apply Your Theology
To the same extent knowledge right brushwood in a man's run, and has no temptation complete his mind and life, it becomes a most false grasp. And in the same way as, in postponement to this, its receptacle is self-conceited and smug, and imagines he knows everything, the upshot is one of the greatest states of existence popular which man can fall. Represent is far ultra aspiration about him who says, "I am a life-threatening sunshade outlaw and demand God to teach me," than about him who is ever saying, "I know it, I know it, I am not unsuspecting," and yet cleaves to his sins. The sin of that man "fire at."

Let us use fussily at all dedicated knowledge we boast, and ask continuously that God would engender us ultra. Let us never lose that the devil himself is a creature of vast head-knowledge, and yet none the time off for it, ever since it is not rightly second hand. Let our sure prayer be that which David so repeatedly sent up in the hundred and nineteenth Psalm. "Lord, teach me your statutes engender me understanding - fix my mind to concern Your name."

- J.C. Ryle
