• There will often be found true devotedness to Christ coupled with very little knowledge of Scripture, and yet remarkable ability to try the things that differ, and to use what little one has for the glory of God. On the other hand, great intelligence has frequently been found coupled with gross carelessness and treachery of heart, leading to a moral and spiritual breakdown eventually. A tender conscience, subject to the guidance of the Word and Spirit of God, is the great desideratum. Contrast Obadiah and Ahab. (1 Kings 18:3, 4; 21:25). (“Proverbs Eleven” by H.A. Ironside)
