The Proclamation, The Preference, And The Proof

First, we need to examine the messages we are listening to. Do they challenge the way we are living, or simply accommodate it? Do they call us to repentance, obedience, and change, or simply reassure us that God is going to bless us while allowing us to remain as we are?

Second, we must examine ourselves. If God’s Word is confronting something in your life today, don’t walk away from it. Don’t look for someone who will tell you what you want to hear. Repent where you need to repent. Surrender what you need to surrender. And if you have never truly given your life to Christ, you can call upon Him and receive His free gift of salvation today.
