Listen: God's Word

If someone is speaking about something and it doesn't fit my agenda right now … if it's not the most important thing I can do at that moment … then I'm not interested. I don't want to hear it if it's inconvenient for me. And if it's terrible news, I sure don't listen to it, right? This is why most of us have these apps on our phones – these bank apps that tell us how much money is in our account – and sometimes we don't open them because we don't want to see how much isn't in our history. And sometimes, we don't go to the doctor because we don't want to hear what the doctor may say to us. And sometimes we don't want to go to church because we don't want to listen to what the preacher may say, much less what God may say. Have you ever done that? Have you ever refused to attend church because you were scared of what God may say?
