And He…When I was—I was a young Baptist preacher baptizing my first converts, five hundred of them down on the river, my first revival…I had about three thousand attend at the revival. And my education was so poor, till my girlfriend read the Bible while I preached. That’s right. It’s not much better tonight. But God’s not known by education. God’s known by faith. God’s not known by knowledge. There was two trees in the garden of Eden. One of them was the tree of knowledge, the other one the Tree of Life. Man left the Tree of Life to eat the Tree of Knowledge, and he’s separating hisself from God. And ever since then, by knowledge, he’s drove hisself away from God. God’s not known by knowledge; He’s known by faith. That’s right.
