STOP AND THINK –
If scholarship is about wisdom as much as truth, then it is about practice as much as knowledge. (Chris Gehrz, college history professor)
We assume that scholars are always seeking to find truth in their special field of study. Gehrz is suggesting that it isn’t just truth (the facts) that you should look for but wisdom—how you apply that truth to life. Furthermore, it isn’t just learning more but putting that learning into practice—seeing life change and growth from discovering truth.
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out (Proverbs 18:15). All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in [Christ Jesus] (Colossians 2:3)
