Readings:
Exodus 37:1 - 38:31
Matthew 28: 1-20
Psalm 34: 11-22
Proverbs 9: 9-10
Proverbs reading: "Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser". Those who are truly wise, that is, possessing wisdom that comes from the fear (respect) of the Lord, will become even wiser through sound teaching because such persons have a teachable spirit. They will also be able to discern sound teaching from that which is unsound. Such wisdom does not come from book knowledge alone.
While I'm not suggesting that formal theological education, private reading, study of the Scriptures, and the like are not helpful for one's growth as a Christian, head knowledge is not enough. In fact, for this kind of knowledge to even begin to make sense, one must start with a relationship with God - "the beginning of all wisdom". For it is God who reveals the mysteries contained in the Scriptures to those who would seek to know God better, not only know about God.
