The following post is one year old:
It's funny and it's rather amazing. Two radios are on...from the breakfast room is country music and from the dining room where I'm at comes conservative talk radio....traffic sounds are discernible from both the front and rear of the house......and there are various sounds of papers rustling....glasses jingling.....footsteps.....conversation.....the furnace coming on and off....yet....yet....and I witnessed it again a few moments ago....amidst this cacophony of many and varied decibels.....some pleasant-some not......if one piece of food hard enough to send off the most minute sound waves is dropped into the dog's dish.....his ears pick up.....he's off the chair he shouldn't be on to begin with....and he's making a beeline into the kitchen.
That may be a clue as to why when I have an intellectual conversation with him...albeit a short one....he doesn't seem to have any more understanding of what I'm saying than many of the readers of these posts understand it when I say that God's judgment upon America is imminent. So when I sit down with him, look him in the eye, and in very clear diction say...."Rover...listen carefully...if you would try your best to perform all bodily functions while in our own yard, then you probably would get a lot more walks" I really don't think that he understands.
Jesus said that his sheep hear His voice.....they recognize it.....but in that hearing is also comprehension. We know that the One speaking is true and faithful! Yes we may interpret His Word slightly different at times but the gospel which Paul preached to his listeners has remained the same for almost two millennia....and so are the warnings to remain vigilant and look for His appearing.... this to those who hear His voice and follow Him.
