I love learning new things. I equally find joy in discovering a unique insight into an old truth.

This desire to grow in knowledge pushes me to read numerous books each year, listen to podcasts weekly, and read blogs daily. People are writing and recording innumerable things that I want to learn.

Jesus pushes us one step further. He says his followers will “hear these words of his and put them into practice” (Matthew 7:24).

The goal of learning is not information but transformation. We are to do more of the things of God and not simply learn about them. A full mind is noble, but a new life is Jesus’ goal.
