Don't Just "Go With It"

"Let no one, then, plunge into the obscure questions that concern divine things without first seeking earnestly, in soundness of faith, for gravity of conduct of wisdom. Otherwise, running about with heedless frivolity through a multitude of sophistical distractions, he may be trapped by some stubborn falsehood..."

I feel like this is a perfect description of what its like to start college (at least at a Christian school). We've all been raised up in the faith and a lot of us (especially those going into Christian ministries) are super fired up about God's glory and the unending love of the Savior. While things things are well worth getting excited over, I fear that so many up and coming Christians take a passing glance at the intricacies of God's word before opting to "just go where the Spirit takes them". This kind of flippant attitude often leads to superficial believers who pass their thin, emotion-driven faith onto others who may have benefited much more from a Bible study than a ten minute worship song.
I know that, for me, college has opened my eyes to the importance of analyzing and studying the word. I hate to play favorites but Dr. Mashburn has done more to cultivate my faith by teaching me to question it than a lifetime of preachers telling me that "God works in mysterious ways" had ever done.

P.s. I commented on Brannen's post
