RRR_Knowledge

 


Any fool can know. The point is to understand. -Albert Einstein. 

 Knowledge is power. -Sir France's Bacon. 

 An investment in knowledge, always pays the best interest. -Benjamin Franklin 

 If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it. -Unknown? 

 So we have a lot of sayings about knowledge. We have a lot of knowledge about knowledge, and you probably believe that you understand what knowledge is?

 So one of the things that we want to try to understand is that knowledge is not just something that you possess inherently, and naturally, but that knowledge is one of those attributes that can be enhanced through a process of education, knowledge is not just retention. Knowledge is not just the ability to spew back out what you have taken in; there is some mysterious aspect to knowledge that has to do with its use; its application?

 And then there is a thing about knowledge that is visionary. The individual who can look at a street and see that it doesn't go far enough. And that if it were connected with another street, it would form a way for people to get from point A to point B without as much hassle. And that's vision. Vision is seeing things as they are. And then seeing things as they might be improved, and then seeing what those improvements might amount to and then seeing what those improvements might amount to. 

 What I'm thinking of now is something that you've seen all of your life which is the change that has taken place in you, the reason that you read this material, the reason that you take in the Bible daily. The reason that you pray; pray for knowledge. If you want to have your knowledge increased and you do not pray for your knowledge to be increased; your knowledge may be increased anyway, but it won't be increased as easily and it won't be increased as gratefully and it won't be increased in as much totality as it could be, if you had prayed for knowledge.

 Something that we don't talk about in our culture. Because we; Me; in the American culture in 2025, and even in the global culture in 2025; have begun to become independent in our belief about acquisition. We believe that a person should stand on their own two feet. 
Be all that you can be be. 
 Be as strong as you're capable of being.
 And not depend upon anything or anyone else. And that runs in the face of Christianity, which says, kneel before your King Jesus and depend not upon your strength but upon his. And that difference makes a great deal of difference; when it comes to knowledge. 

 Knowledge, that's just acquired for knowledge's sake; will become knowledge that becomes stale because it will not become used. Knowledge that is only acquired for the individual to enhance the individual's understanding of something is not knowledge that is used; and knowledge that is not used is knowledge that is abused. 
 Knowledge that is not used is knowledge that is abused. 

 If you don't remember anything else remember this, the acquisition of knowledge is not about you, it's about disciples. Learners that you're going to bring to Jesus, you bring them constantly back to Jesus. 
That knowledge is eternally blessing knowledge. 

 Some knowledge blesses right now. This instance, today, the kind of knowledge that makes life right now today better. Enhances the life that you have right now. Today, better, like good Creamer, with a great flavour in a good cup of coffee. It enhances the coffee right now. Today, but let that sit there for a while and then see how good it tastes in a couple of days? 

 Knowledge without use becomes stale, use the knowledge that you have, but constantly gain in; refresh, new knowledge. How(?) by reading reading; constantly?

 Reading; reading is much better than listening, and you're listening, but I hope that you're also reading. Bring your disciples to Jesus. Bring them back to Jesus. And that my friend might be the beginning of an adequate statement about what it means; means to have knowledge.

View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this:  Jhn 9:1  -  And   as   Jesus   passed by,   he saw   a man   which was blind   from   his   birth. Tools Jhn 9:2  -  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...

View on Vocaroo >> Tasty, is a lovely word, sounds near sweet? Tenderloin is one of our favorite meats, as a meal we eat it with Rice-a-Roni or just rice; usually I try to make some gravy to go with the rice, and we have a vegetable. There is almost always some left over meat that I refrigerate in it's juice. A day or two later put that into a pan, as the frozen meat and juice heats up it fills the pan- then I'll add barbeque sauce to that and it boils down to the point the tenderloin falls apart and it's now pulled pork bbq for a marvelous sandwich. Tasty, it really, is. When Holy Spirit drew you from hell, usually by bringing you to your senses, of how messed up you were? When Holy Spirit does that, you are like a cooked meal that's been set aside in the refrigerator- you are preserved, but your function is stopped. Before, you were a meal, now, your just preserved. Holy Spirit gets hold of you, now you may feel some heat, you will be changing- becoming what ...

View on Vocaroo >> There are so many memories to your Christ experience. Remembering is in a very unsalted way, forming your story of what Christ has done. Get who, what, when, where and possibly why or how, together so it makes sense. Now we season... Dana you mix metaphors a bunch, we're writing, your using a cooking analogy? Ah you caught me...throwin Jalapenoes instead of pepper...and I'm in great company, the gospel is loaded with things that are like other things, the Bible has tons of metaphor...oops, that's a pun, huh? A coin, in a fishes mouth? To pay taxes? For both of them? See any metaphor there? Miracle aside, Peter a now fisher of men? Jesus now proving his earthly existence- ooh, here's one for history buffs, did the takers of taxes keep records? (Matt 17:27) What miracle, other than new birth, eating food that turns into energy, bones? Water rather than air? Both have Oxygen one way it's wet, the other we breathe, now can you begin to glimps...
