[Tolle Lege] Knowledge for Love

 "But I fear a distrust of God and my Redeemer has had too great a hand in my desires after a more distinct knowledge than God ordinarily gives to souls in flesh....Yet we must desire that our knowledge and belief may be as distinct as divine revelations are.  We can love no farther than we know; and the more we know of God and glory, the more we shall love, desire and trust.", Richard Baxter, 1683, Dying Thoughts p.35

"We can love no farther than we know."


amen to that.  "love" that's unsupported by knowledge is a scary thought.  may we desire to know Him more and thus increase our capability to love Him more.

Kevin's Wishlist "And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone,
able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with
gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a
knowledge of the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the
devil, after being captured by him to do his will."
2 Timothy 2:24-26
