Are you listening?

What's up fellas? I was listening to a sermon today that really stung me and i wanted to share it with you? How many times does this happen to you? You're sitting there in the pew or in Bible study or chapel and you find yourself thinking about baseball...or golf...or girls...you know what i'm saying. You just aren't paying attention. You know who's loving that? Satan, that's who. The man giving you the sermon may have good information....maybe life changing information and because he's not the most dynamic speaker in the world you find yourself drifting off. Here's my question to you. Are you listening? I mean are you actually trying to listen or are you just sitting. Are you trying to pay attention or are you thinking about what the spread is? My point is this...when we have an opportunity to hear Gods word we need to hear Gods word. Stop telling people that you couldn't listen cuz you just couldn't connect with the speaker. Stop placing the blame on others and just take the time to pay attention. Not saying its gunna be easy ...i'm just saying that's what we should do. Timothy talks about it in 2 Timothy 3:16. He says.... Timothy 3:16 (New Living Translation)
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. So, if all scripture is God breathed and is here for the sole purpose of teaching us, shouldnt we respect that word and try to lock it in for a few minutes....

maybe its just me that needed that sermon,
