Proverbs 1:5 says “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.”
In God’s economy, wisdom is never static; it is always expanding. Even the wise must “increase in learning.” Which means that maturity is not marked by arrival but by continual openness to correction and instruction. The mark of a true disciple is not how much he knows but how much he is willing to keep learning! Jonathan Edwards once said, “The man who thinks he has sufficient knowledge shows his ignorance.” Pride is a ceiling that blocks growth, while humility is the soil where wisdom takes root. As long as we draw breath, we remain students in God’s classroom. Death, not pride, is graduation.
Willingness to learn…….now there is a wrestling match that many of us are having near daily, but we seldom seem to discuss much! That is until today!
Bryan Hurlbutt was a keynote speaker at a conference I attended last month and delivered a terrific message on untaught men and teachability.
He was born and raised in upstate New York, received his bachelor’s degree in religious education from Davis College in Johnson City, New York, and his master’s degree in theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. His doctorate of ministry from Talbot School of Theology focused on how worldview, philosophy, and culture relate to the local church, which culminated in the release of his first book, Tasty Jesus: Liberating Christ from the Power of our Predilections

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
