Scripture: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Proverbs 1:7).

**Discussion Questions**

> 1. Do you see science and faith as rivals or compatible partners in the quest for truth? Why?
> 2. Read and respond to Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
> 3. Pastor Dave referenced Francis Bacon’s “two books of God”. The book of God’s Word (scripture) and the book of God’s Work (nature, the material world). Do you have a habit of engaging with these books in an intentional way? If so, what is that habit/practice?
> 4. How do faith and reason find their perfect fulfillment in Christ? (maybe read 1 Corinthians 1:21-24 again)
