Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:3
We do live in the age of dialogue. But when it comes to truth, we need some monologue. Better to shut up for a while and listen to God. When we come to know and love His voice, we will “never follow a stranger” because we do not recognize a stranger’s voice” (John 10:5)
Years ago I stopped listening to talk radio because I didn’t like its effects on me. I listen to the Bible instead – and I like what it does to my mind and heart. Scripture and Bible-based audio wisdom books and teaching accompany me as I travel. I never regret investing my time this way. Why listen to mere human opinions when you can listen to the God of the Universe? Seriously now!
“The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him. We have to pitch our tents where we shall always have quiet times with God, regardless however noisy our times with the world may be. Oswald Chambers
BOTTOM LINE:
The great cause of neglecting the Scriptures is not want of time, but want of heart, some idol taking the place of Christ.” Robert Chapman.
“Although not widely known today, Robert was one the most respected Christians of his generation. His caring and humble attitude had a marked impact on the lives of such men as George Muller, J Hudson Taylor, and Charles Spurgeon. These notable men agreed that Chapman was a giant among them. He is noted as saying, ” My business is to love, and not to seek that others shall love me.”
