The prophet Daniel spoke of a time when knowledge would increase. We live in an age of extraordinary scientific, technological, and informational advancement, but increased knowledge does not automatically produce increased righteousness. Human beings are becoming more knowledgeable while becoming spiritually farther from God. Therefore, let us seek not only knowledge about the world but wisdom from God’s Word.
