How Do We
Hear?
By James W. Boyd
By James W. Boyd
We are warned in Scripture to take heed what we hear (Mark 4:24) and how we hear (Luke 8:18). We may not always be able to control everything that might fall on our ears, but much of it we can. And, whatever we do hear we can take care how we hear, that is, what effect it might have on us. We can use self-control and self-discipline regarding our reactions to such things. But do we hear any better than the next fellow?
What I am asking is whether we pay any attention to what we hear more than others even when we hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Do we respond any more favorably before God than those who reject His Word altogether?
Yes, most would say they hear better when it comes to hearing God’s Word. We often criticize those in religious error for just not paying real attention to the revealed truth. This criticism is justly given. But when I hear the command to “assemble faithfully” being taught, and see brothers and sisters act as if such a command was never given, it does make one wonder how we hear.

“We have
no government armed with power capable of contending with human
passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was
made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate
to the government of any other.”
