The Bullet of Growth: What We Know is Key

If you accept the brief philosophy of growth … knowledge, faith-acting and time … from our last post then the next obvious step is its spiritual application. All of us have the same amount of time … twenty four hours a day … so we are all equal in that sense. All of us faith-act continuously … whether it means committing ourselves to making money, writing a scientific dissertation, or watch the boob tube. We have equal opportunity in category two. We all have opportunity to act on something.

Now the clincher … the category that divides men is the kind of knowledge they put into their minds. It’s not time or action, but the kind of knowledge you put into your time and action. The passing of time is no guarantee of happiness. Neither are activities … no matter how varied or numerous. The key to great living is great knowledge! The key to great Godly living, is great Godly knowledge!

Cheap knowledge, plus faith-action, plus time, equals a cheap life. Baby knowledge, plus faith-action, plus time, equals a baby life. Mediocre, false, self-centered, materialistic knowledge, plus faith-action, plus time, equals a life of mediocrity, falsehood, self-centeredness and gimmicks!
