i was reading this morning in 1 corinthians:8 and was struck by a particular thought. in verses 1-3, paul says, "we all possess knowledge. but knowledge puffs up while love builds up. those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. but whoever loves God is known by God."

i was struck, thinking many of us come to church seeking to "know more" about God, but how often do we come together to really let God change us... to learn to love more. sure, knowledge is helpful but if that knowledge doesn't somehow change us and cause us to live our lives differently (in this case, loving more) then all we get is a big head. as he says in verse 2, "those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know." true knowledge of God that changes us, brings with it humility, whereas knowledge alone that doesn't affect our lives only brings pride.

let love change you!
