Daniel, I’m trying to make sure you know people are reading your articles 😁. I liked the hearing verses reading comment. It makes me think of the Western tickle my ears practice or sponge me. Some Protestants, dare I say more than there ought to be, just sit and soak it in, leave and life goes on. I know it’s the same across the board. I think there is a difference between the hearing of today as opposed to the hearing of the past. Those who listened, studied, and applied grew. Those that just sat there were like a clanging gong. My pastor used the example of seeing verses beholding. You can see a car. But to behold a car is to be able to describe it in detail.
I like that description. Thanks for leaving a comment! As they say, bad comments are as good as friendly ones. Glad this was the latter and not the former :)
