"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God." 1 Corinthians 8:1b-3
Perhaps those of us who are called to ministry would be well served, and would well serve God's church if we take these words to heart and enact them in our lives.

This is the 3rd attempt to post on humility and arrogance in the life of the minister. I cannot put it better than the apostle. "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up."
Love builds up... that's beautiful and so true. God really knows what He's talking about.
It's a good verse for Valentine's too.
Nothing reminds me more about this than getting frustrated with church-members out at Cottonwood because they didn't agree with what my "education" had taught me.
Thanks for the reminder!
