A.W. TozerWe might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
About This Quote
The Bible tells us that we are supposed to be wise. So, it stands to reason that we should follow the advice of wise people. However, if we try to rely on what the theologians (or the Bible) tell us, we might absorb some wisdom and believe it is true. But, if we follow the heart instead of the mind, we will absorb more wisdom and be more effective in our lives.
