Spiritual Secret Obedience

More From Eric Liddell

Obedience to god's will is the secret of spiritual knowledge and insight. it is not willingness to know, but willingness to do (obey) god's will that brings certainty.
Spiritual Secret Obedience
But what will happen even if we do burn down the jews synagogues and forbid them publicly to praise god, to pray, to teach, to utter god's name? they will still keep doing it in secret. if we know that they are doing this in secret, it is the same as if they were doing it publicly. for our knowledge of their secret doings and our toleration of them implies that they are not secret after all and thus our conscience is encumbered with it before god.

In the age of revolution it is not knowledge that produces new wealth, but insight - insight into opportunities for discontinuous innovation. discovery is the journey; insight is the destination. you must become your own seer.
Opportunity Journey Discovery
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
In order to the attaining of all useful knowledge this is most necessary, that we fear god; we are not qualified to profit by the instructions that are given us unless our minds be possessed with a holy reverence of god, and every thought within us be brought into obedience to him.... as all our knowledge must take rise from the fear of god, so it must tend to it as its perfection and centre. those know enough who know how to fear god, who are careful in every thing to please him and fearful of offending him in any thing; this is the alpha and omega of knowledge.
Christian Fear Blessing
The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Ignorance Like You Far Away
What is intelligence, anyway it is only a word that people use to name those unknown processes with which our brains solve problems we call hard. but whenever you learn a skill yourself, you're less impressed or mystified when other people do the same. this is why the meaning of 'intelligence' seems so elusive: it describes not some definite thing but only the momentary horizon of our ignorance about how minds might work.

Man's basic vice, the source of all his evils, is the act of unfocusing his mind, the suspension of his consciousness, which is not blindness, but the refusal to see, not ignorance, but the refusal to know.
