Thoughts on Proud Jackasses

Brother John has posted a very good blog post on the problems of theological intellectual jackasses who look into the mysteries of God, not so that they might glorify and love Him and His people better, but so that they might take part in debates and delight in annihilating the opposition. His post is a potent reminder that we need to take care that our knowledge does not puff us up, but rather leads us to see how great the gulf is between Creator and creature, a right apprehensions of the mercy of God in Christ, and how great our dependancy is upon Him.
