While I'm interested in what you know, I'd rather hear about where you've been. We've all heard it said, "Knowledge is power". But there is a knowledge that puffs a man up. Fooling him into thinking he has real power. Yet in this, he often loses the ability to affect and impact the world around him.
We're warned in scripture that some people will be forever learning but never coming to an understanding of truth. While knowledge offers some power structure, experience offers a framework for understanding. Knowledge is what we should be seeing in our rear-view mirror. It is not the target destination but rather the by-product of experience.
You show me someone whose heart is set on pilgrimage and I'll show you someone who has the power to affect and impact. The Christian mystics of Ireland referred to pilgrimage as "chasing the wild goose". The Spirit of Christ being the "Wild Goose". Tell me where you've been and maybe the two of us will begin to understand something worth knowing.
