Not as smart as I once was

I heard a country song the other day and the lyrics were "I will never be as smart as I once was". This is becoming very true in my own life. I used to think I had everything figured out and that I was on top of all my theology. I knew what I believed and why you should believe what I believe.

Nowadays I am learning that there is very little that I understand and that God is incredibly more complicated and complex than I thought. The Bible is so deep and so wide that I have not even began to understand it.

I don't have a lot to say today other than to encourage you to study humbly. Do not let others tell you what to believe or who to read and not read. Read people that you think you disagree with because you might find that you do not actually disagree with them and that they make excellent points.

Be humble and allow God's Word to change you as you study.

I know I will never again be as smart as I once was.
