    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,848 views

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,503 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.
