There is a very interesting man in our Sunday school class who has a lot to say. If one were to judge him based on appearances it might not look like he has much education. But if you stop and listen to him during the class he really possess deep spiritual knowledge.
After church last week we stopped to chat and I was impressed once again at the depth of his understanding of God and the Bible.
Are we good at developing relationships by listening to others or are we too busy trying to put across our own views? What do you think?

Last week I was at CBLI and was blessed to sit under the teaching ministry of Roger Green. In the class was a man who at first glance I appraised as a little backwards. He asked questions and made comments at every class. My mind was conflicted because the sound of his voice, his appearance and even how he was outside of class, gave me one impression but his questions and comments were intelligent and insightful. Why did I need to catagorize him? Isn't that the very thing I reject in the Army - the Church? I know that knowing the word,loving the Lord and going deep is not limited in the way so many other areas of life are. He chose the foolish to confound the wise. I want to look around with open eyes, not clouded by my pre-set ideals or prejudices and see that the experience I treasure with the Lord is for all, not just those that look like what my life experience has conditioned me to look for. Make any sense?
