Treating the Lost With Respect?

Spam we get on WordPress is amazingly funny to a Christian.  It is designed by men of the flesh and targeted at greed and pride of men of flesh.  But let’s not get too heady about the ability to read through their ruse.  What’s that saying?  “But for the grace of God. . . “.

How often to we really sit down and contemplate the knowledge we have been given?  We see through a myriad of lies and temptations that the world embraces without even questioning.  The Holy Spirit speaks to all men.  But so few have ears that will hear His prompting.

Just about everyone has ears that work.  And if the ears don’t work, another sense tends to supply the lack.  When it comes to Spritual matters, however, everyone has ears.  If we listen intently and provoke a desire within us to do what we hear, we end up hearing more acutely.  Should a man whose ears work just fine boast because he can hear things a deaf person can’t hear?  Now that’s really a foolish idea.  Curiously, we seem to elevate the deaf regardless our spiritual standing.  Hmmmmmmmmmm.
