In this regard, what good does it do to be a hearer only, and not a doer of the word? The Word tells us what the Holy Spirit wants to do in and through our lives.

It seems that in many circles if you want to actually experience the presence of the Lord, then you are somehow against having a knowledge of the Word. I don't think you can truly understand the Word unless you experience what it is talking about. http://rahabsplace.wordpress.com Since when did experience and knowledge become mutually exclusive terms?

We're mostly suffering the opposite I'm afraid :-( And there seems to be a fear amongst some that we're trying to throw out loving Scripture for something more "experiential". Nothing could be further from the truth. Our current, limited, intellectual grasp of Scripture at any one time should light an unquenchable fuse for an explosion of Holy Spirit encounter and experience, not a perimeter! And that should leave us then thirsting like a dying man for yet more Holy Spirit revelation of Scripture to light another fuse ... and another ... and another ... IMHO anyhow :-) Abso-flippin-lutely! :-)
