All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

No one wants to hear the bible anymore. People have itchy ears and want to hear what is going to support their lifestyle of sin. What do you think?

I would word it differently.

I would change "no one" to "many today do not want to hear the Bible."

I would change the second sentence to state "Many are looking to have their ears tickled by listening only to what makes them feel good about themselves and even fewer want to deal with the reality of sin in their lives."

The changes I would make are because your first comment implies "everyone" and this then blends over into your second statement. If "no one" means everyone then it includes you and me, as well as many others who want to be right with God on His terms.

Lord Bless,

Hi Keicha, God bless you!

Yeah, I agree with LT. Something you might try, watch people and learn what their heartfelt need is. Some heartfelt needs are more obvious than others. Healing for example may be obvious at times. Then adjust your Bible speaking to the need. It may take love and patience to figure out the heartfelt need. It's a most loving thing you can do for a lost soul.

There are different levels of hunger for Bible teaching. When I first began to hear the Bible words, I could only handle a few verses at a time. I had a very specific heartfelt need. It wasn't obvious to most, but the older Christians figured it out. You see, I was deeply into the occult and didn't know how to get out. My need required a lot of Jesus care. He has what I need. I know you understand because you love Him too.

Keep your hand on the plow, but maybe you could work the soil differently.

Love,

Mary

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Ti 4:3 - Signs of the times

For many the time is already at hand .... The harvest is plentiful and yet the field also possesses many tares.

Lord Bless,

Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Matt 9:37

He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." Luke 10:2

"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!"Mark 1:15

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Ro 13:11

Amen. We must push on in the midst of what appears to be chaos to us, because though many will reject the Lord there are those who will be saved.
