    This is ironic as many churches now will not even talk to someone who doesn't have a master’s degree. I wonder what would happen if our actually spirituality matched our desire for formal education? Some of the most spiritual men I have known lacked a bachelor's degree. On the other hand I have known well educated men who did not wear their credentials on their sleeve in fact you would have never known if you didn't specifically ask. Humility as Christ was humble did not consider position, power, or even equality with God something to be grasped but took the form of a servant. True understanding should always lead us to become more humble because the more you know then the more realize you don't know.

    Good comment Joe.. Humility is one of those seen not bragged about virtues. The point of eclipsing self and becoming so caught up in the passion of faith in Jesus that it is unbeatable. Can't embarass the humble person because this one marches to the beat of Jesus.
    Thanks again for your comments Joe. Not only here, but on the other studies here.

    Sad but true, What degree one possesses has become more important than experiance and work history. What are we thinking?
