Have you ever put on a pair of headphones?

By: Joshua Leavell

I know, kinda crazy. But living for the world and not for Christ is like putting on some Beats or some Sony DS Headphones (yeah I don't have Beats money) and hearing absolutely NOTHING! It's like having them plugged in and the sound is off, What and Who Are You Listening To? Although our sin doesn't fall on deaf ears with God, we often tune him out when we submit to our own will, not his, and go where we want instead of where he wants us to go. The worst part is some of us have the headphones on, can hear, but still choose self over sacrifice. James 1:19 says "let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry". Sometimes we aren't quick to hear God speak, because we can't hear him with the sound down or if he's tuned out. I'm encouraging us to "TURN UP CHRIST" in our lives, our minds, our hearts, and our headphones. Go ahead and increase his volume!
