Listening

I used this quote recently for a message about what you need to do when you come to faith in Jesus to ensure you grow.

"Value your listening and reading time at roughly ten times your talking time. This will assure you that you are on a course of continuous learning and self-improvement."
Gerald McGinnis, President and CEO of Respironics, Inc.

It struck me as really true. If the early years of my faith had been spent listening instead of talking I bet I would have become a lot stronger Christian. I wonder would would happen if we all decided to listen more? I bet the Church would become exactly what God has always hoped for.

Here's to those who will listen more this week as they seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
