God designed the church to be a community of lifelong learners under the earthly guidance of leaders who are teachers at heart. The Christian faith is not a finite course of study for the front-end of adulthood. Our mind-set shouldn’t be to first do our learning and then spend the rest of our lives drawing from that original deposit of knowledge. Rather, ongoing health in the Christian life is inextricably linked to ongoing learning. . David Mathis
Love, too, has to be learned.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own.

Michel De Montaigne
But it's important to acknowledge that while we may make mistakes, in the long run, we may also learn from them.

Sarah Dessen
One way or another, I think we are all destined to learn the same lessons in life. Universal truths are universal truths. They cannot be changed.

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.

More Quotes By David Mathis
For the glory of God, the good of others, and the satisfaction of our souls, the aim of the Christian life is our coming to share in… Christlikeness or godliness–which is ‘holiness’ rightly understood.
Prayer doesn’t begin with our needs, but with his bounty.
It shouldn’t surprise us…to find that prayer is not finally about getting things from God, but getting God.
He is holy, and so we worship (adoration). He is merciful, and so we repent (confession). He is gracious, and so we express appreciation (thanksgiving). He is loving and caring, and so we petition him for ourselves, our family, our friends, and our world (supplication).
This is the heart of prayer–not getting things from God, but getting God.
