"Knowledge puffs up, but charity [love for your fellow man] edifies.
And if any man thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
But if any man loves God, the same is known of Him." [From 1 Corinthians 8]
These are really great words to start out the semester with (that may sound sarcastic.....but it's not...). I don't know anything. No one knows anything but God, and anyone who thinks he or she knows something doesn't know anything. The more we truly know, the more we know we don't know. But any knowledge we have isn't really ours to begin with; it's a gift from God.
I think this is also a good reminder, for me especially, that knowledge (aka SCHOOL) is not so important in the super-long run. Loving and showing love to God and others is far more important. I hope I can remember that...
