"All too frequently the poverty of human intelligence has plenty to say, for inquiry employs more words than the discovery of the solution; it takes longer to state a request than to have it granted, and the hand that knocks has more work to do than the hand which receives. We hold on to the promise, which none can make null and void...(Rom8:31),(Matt7:7-8)...These are your promises, and when the promise is given by the Truth, who fears to be deceived?" (p.247)
I think this passage is key for seekers of the Truth. So many times we are spurred by reason to be skeptical of everything, and by faith to ignorantly accept all words spoken to us. We must find the balance within the sweet dissonance of faith and reason as imago Dei. Always strive for excellence in thought, but at the end of the day, know where your foundational hope is found; in Christ alone!
I commented on Ethan and Hannah's.
