When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don’t work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss.”

Knowledge about God doesn’t change our hearts, but knowing Him absolutely does. When we catch a glimpse of His beauty, it transforms theory into practice, not as an act of discipline, but as an outflow of our love for Him and of our changed hearts. Thank you for this thought-provoking post.
