People have these crazy ideas about how God works today.
They think you can have a relationship with God outside of the scripture.
I have these experiences with God.
I talk to God in my own way.
God talks to me.
That's not God.
You ate some bad pizza.
That's the thoughts of your own imagination.
God doesn't work like that.
God speaks to us through his holy word.
Why would I want to close his book?
Let me just put my hand over God's mouth.
I don't want to hear it.
That's what we do when we don't read it.
It'd be like someone trying to talk to you and you just put your hand over your mouth
and say, I don't want to hear it.
I'm too busy doing something else.
Some vain, stupid thing to have any time to listen to you.
God's sitting there trying to give us this great treasure.
God's sitting there trying to do something powerful in our life.
We're just like, nope, no thanks.
Don't eat it.
Trying to figure out how to live our lives, what the right decisions are to make.
No, later.
Later God.
I'll figure this out some other way.
We tell God to just be quiet.
You know, I don't want to hear from you.
We don't have God's eye on us.
We need to get God's eye on our lives by listening.
