IC.19-The Imitation of Christ, 19—Contempt of Worldly Knowledge
For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.
Today's podcast (19 mins) is "On Contempt of Vain and Worldly Knowledge" (Book 3, Chapter 43).
Scripture:1 Cor 1:26-27; 2 Tim 4:3; Num 16; Ps 94:10; 119:100,130; Col 3:4; Zeph 1:12; 1 Cor 4:5,20; 12:11..Application:
* "Sweet-sounding compliments": beware flattery, and people lowering the standard.
* "Never read the Word to appear learned or wise": Read not for head knowledge or to impress others, but to become like Christ.
* "... children clearer knowledge": Let's strive to keep our hearts young.
* "I will reveal your [private] motives": Often mixed or impure motives are concealed in the fog of argumentation and rationalization.
* "Ten years in schools": Again, wisdom is not the same thing as knowledge. It has a deep spiritual component, and cannot be learned by mere years of schooling.
* "Forsaking all earthly things": This is the key to true wisdom (knowledge spiritually applied).
* "Gentle and soft-spoken": Jesus engages and challenges us in proportion to the softness of our hearts.
"On the Confidence of Grace" (Book 3, Chapter 30)
