Seek not to grow in knowledge for the sake of applause

~Jonathan Edwards
Seek not to grow in knowledge for the sake of applause and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls.

In our excitement to learn and know about our infinite God. Let us be careful not to fall into sin. For our knowledge of Him is granted by Him. With trembling and fear we preach about your words for we are not worthy to speaks of your greatness and O how little we know of your greatness! Our speaking of you only brings humiliation to you. And indeed who am I O Lord that you should bestow me the knowledge of your greatness! That I may be silent before you and be filled with awe all the days of my life.

    and no one can stop you.

    things far too wonderful for me.
4 You said, ‘Listen and I will speak!
    I have some questions for you,
    and you must answer them.’
5 I had only heard about you before,
    but now I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 I take back everything I said,
    and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
