Makes Me Dream

Vincent Van Gogh on inspiration: “I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.”

I have devoted a substantial chunk of my time and energy to studying and teaching the Bible. Many have taken that journey before me.

We must pause that journey and ask an important question.

Does the more we read correlate to a growing level of certainty? 

Joking with a friend recently, I pointed out the scholarship journey—I know more and more about less and less until I know everything about nothing.

Perhaps the best study follows Van Gogh’s insight—when did we last read something that caused us to lay aside the book and dream?

Van Gogh’s dreams led to paintings that move us.

To what actions and creativity do our dreams lead?
