  2. Ignorance is bliss (or is it?)
    1. It is in human (especially a Dad's) nature to feign igorance in order to avoid having to do things that they don't want to. Will this method work with God? Example of Bill Cosby's "Chocolate Cake for Breakfast" story.
    2. Acts 17:29-30 - All men
    3. Ephesians 4:17-18 - Ignorant because of their blind heart.
    4. Proverbs 22:3 - Ignorance can get us into trouble.
    5. Romans 16:17-19 - Why people are taken in by false teaching.
  3. Are you happy with your current knowledge level?

    3. "I know enough now."
      1. 1 Corinthians 10:12 - Let him who thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
      2. 1 Corinthians 3:18-21 - The thoughts of the wise are vain.
  4. Continuous improvement
    1. Matthew 11:29 - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me.
    2. 2 Peter 1:5-10 - One of our building blocks (give diligence to it)
    3. Revelation 1:3 - We're blessed for trying to understand
    4. Romans 12:2 - Being transformed by the renewing of your mind
  5. Conclusion
