I love this quote from Kent Nerburn:
So,
along with knowledge, you must seek wisdom. Knowledge is multiple; wisdom is
singular. Knowledge is words; wisdom is silent. Knowledge is standing outside,
understanding what is seen. Wisdom is standing at the center, knowing what is
not seen. No person can be whole without both dimensions of learning.
Remember the words of the musician who was asked which was greater, knowledge
or wisdom. “Without knowledge,” he answered, “I could not play the violin.
Without wisdom, I could not play the music.”
And for some reason it makes me think of this, from Jesus:
God is Spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)What do you think? Is there a connection between wisdom and Spirit, knowledge and Truth? How do we in the church do with encapsulating both sides of those coins?
