The Word of God Is the Foundation of Knowledge

Acquisition of knowledge is automatic with human beings. It is a function of our five senses. The core of the problem is whether our acquired learning fits into the framework revealed by God. To know God: This is the much-needed knowledge the world rejects. It has its origins in real humility. Only humble men and women can look beyond themselves to grasp the values God reveals. Knowing God’s Word is priceless knowledge! It is the true foundation for understanding all other knowledge and counteracts the false information we see about us.
