"Having knowledge"

C.J. Ingerson
3/4/99

Verse 1
********

Knowledge is not
as important,
as knowing what
to do with the
knowledge you have.

Verse 2
********

Knowledge without
a spiritual testimony
of the gospel will
only gain unhappiness
and bitterness.

Verse 3
********

Any intelligent being
can confuse and
undermine the beliefs
of an intellectual testimony.

Verse 4
********

However this cannot
happen to one
with a spiritual testimony.

Verse 5
********

One who listens to the
prompting's (whisperings)
of the Holy Ghost.

Verse 6
********

In the Old Testament we find
"... those who keep my
commandments, statutes
will be known as my people,
and I will be
known as their God."

Verse 7
********

Thus having knowledge
has value in our
mortal probation
only as long
as we know
why we have it
and what it is for.

Verse 8
********

Many with knowledge
try to control others
without the strength
of testimony
or understanding
of love and the gospel.

Verse 9
********

Task 102 is for us
to learn to share
knowledge as a blessing
not a curse or worse
the threat of damnation
for this is not so.

Verse 10
********

We must also understand,
that being a spiritual giant
is significantly different
from being
an intellectual giant
and the two will never
be mistaken as
the one.

Verse 11
********

The spiritual giant
will be humble
forthright and strong.

Verse 12
********

The intellectual giant
will retreat to others.

Verse 13
*******

The spiritual giant
represents our
Heavenly Father
and never has to
retreat to anyone.
