This is why I am concerned about the attempts being made by some evangelicals to equate Christianity with all learning and all philosophy and all science. If they continue on in their blind ways, they will find themselves ultimately in the camp of the theological liberals and under the cold frown of Almighty God.

   Many of them apparently overlook the fact that the Spirit of God never promised to fill a man’s head. The promise is that God will fill the heart, or man’s innermost being. The Word of God makes it very plain that the church of Jesus Christ will never operate and minister and prosper by the stock of knowledge in the heads of Christian believers but by the warmth and urgency of God’s love and compassion flowing through their beings.

   Now, don’t throw your head away—you are going to need it! I am convinced that God has made it plain that man alone, of all the creatures on earth, is created so that he can have fullness of knowledge about the earth and all the wonders and glories it holds. I believe that through grace man can have a fullness of knowledge even about the works of God—but this certainly does not mean that we find Him and know Him and love Him through thought processes and human wisdom.
