Knowing some things is good, but knowing Christ is better.
1 Corinthians 1:24
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Christianity is not anti-intellectual, but it is anti-intellectualism.
1 Corinthians 1:19
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Academia is not the chief end of man. There is a lot of value in thinking about how to think and what to think about, but none of it compares to simply knowing that our thoughts are not His thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Knowing that there is a God and that you are not Him is more knowledge than everything the godless institutions of "higher learning" can provide. They insist that they are the upper educators to cover up the fact that they are bottom-feeders. They stare at the sediment that has settled at the bottom of the glass instead of gazing up at the expansive heavens from which it came down and where it all originated.
1 Corinthians 1:30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
Christians want to know things because everything is Christ's and in it we see more of Him, its Creator, and ours. He is our wisdom. Like the sun, we see Him and by Him we are able to see everything else.
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” ― C.S. Lewis
