Acknowledging Our Ignorance to Seek Wisdom
The article cites Socrates Hammarskjold and Spurgeon to argue that recognizing our ignorance opens the doorway to wisdom. It links Proverbs 1 7 to reverence for God and warns against pride that blocks guidance. It notes humility outranks cerebral brilliance and cites a Scottish church union anecdote about stubborn resistance to truth.
