“Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice.” – Dr. Ivan Misner<\/p>\n\n\n
I heard this quote today on a podcast and it stuck with me. Misner is the founder of BNI – Business Network International and so his audience is entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n
But it seems applicable to one’s spiritual life as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
When it comes to theology, we really have no choice but to move forward in ignorance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
The other day I heard a pastor promoting a six-week study he had created for church groups called The Whole Truth about God<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n
In six weeks! Whatever the price tag is, if he can deliver, I want to buy it.<\/p>\n\n\n
But I am not optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n
None of us knows the WHOLE truth about God.<\/p>\n\n\n
If we wait until we have our theology perfect before we can call ourselves Christian, then none of us are Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n
I love the story of “the man born blind” in John 9:<\/p>\n\n\n
The Pharisees interrogate him – twice – about his miraculous healing and what Jesus exactly did to bring it about.<\/p>\n\n\n
V.25 “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man (Jesus) is a sinner.”<\/p>\n\n\n
And the formerly blind man shoots back, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”<\/p>\n\n\n
What? He was healed without having all of his propositional truth ducks in a row?<\/p>\n\n\n
Is that possible?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
