very Christian wants have the right words to deliver to their family, friends, children, coworkers, and fellow church members. We want to speak timely truths in love. But some things can hinder this and make our words weightless.
Last week Dr. John Snyder introduced us to our new series and this week he is joined by Teddy James, the guy who belongs behind the camera. They discuss the reality that if we want to be a people who are listened to by those we love, we must be a people who listen well. That means primarily two things:
First, we must be active listeners to God. Whether it is reading Scripture, participating in a sermon on Sunday morning, or having a spiritual conversation with others we must win the battle of actively listening, rather than being passive and lazy.
Second, we must do the hard work of plowing up our lives to make room for the truths of Scripture. How much of the sermon you heard on Sunday has found application in your life? How are you living on and applying what God showed you in your morning devotion? Do not leave truth unapplied in your life.
For reading and meditation:
Psalm 111:10
Matthew 25:14-30
