We need to not only have knowledge of the Bible but we need to know The Author of the Book. Angus talks about Thomas Akampas, a shy, humble monk who lived about 500 years ago. He entered a monastery at the age of 20 and lived a quiet life. On his death at the age of 91, this unassuming man had written, “A rich Inheritance”, which inspired countless people. His ambition was to be more like The Master. We need to guard against being puffed up and we need to be more like The Master. Our opinion is not important. We need to get back to The Bible.
