from 2 Timothy 3:14-17 and James 1:21-23
Our relationship with Scripture can tend to be difficult to define depending on the season of life we are in, or depending on how we feel like we have been treated “in the name of the Bible.”
What if we no longer approached Scripture asking what it can do FOR us, but instead began to approach Scripture asking what it can do IN us?
What if you were willing to open it, to interact with it, to rest, to listen, to seek…in a brand new way? Imagine what might change.

from James 1:19-21
It takes no intentional effort to hear. Hearing is merely our body’s ability to perceive sound. Listening however, requires an intentional action. The ability to perceive sound, and then process what it is and what it means. I wonder how many of us confuse the two.
Or to push that a bit further, I wonder how many of us when we do listen, listen in a way that values and honors the other person.
In our 2nd week of our “Healing Connections” series we are challenged with what it means not only to listen, but to listen with humble attentiveness.
