    We seem to accept there has to be great noise to find God. Sometimes God is found in the still, small voice. Sometime excessive noise can hide the message?

    It says that God heard them. Well, of course He did. Doesn’t the Bible teach that He hears our prayers? But wait a minute! It doesn’t say they were praying.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (This is basically my adaptation of an excellent sermon by Bruce Howell entitled "The Day God Eavesdropped.") A.

    What lies within us is more of an ambivalence towards leadership… we actually long for that which can organize life… that which can set forth what is right… and HEROES who reveal something of a better way.

    Who you listen to matters. It determines who you belong to - who owns you. We can choose the easy road or the hard one, depending on who we listen to. Does it really matter what road we take. Absolutely!

    When I say “The Golden Rule” how many of you know exactly what I’m talking about? Jesus, as the big “A” author of God’s Word, can go into great detail about what His character means in our everyday relationships and actions, but He can also sum it up in just a few short words. The Golden rule is ...read more

Or are we more captivated by the voices of those in positions of authority? Maybe the voices we really listen to are from ...read more

    A learning on listening.
