       Too many voices speaking to you won’t do you any good. We must choose which voices we allow ourselves to hear, to take in. In our day of great education, and especially Christian education, there are all kinds of teachers who are telling us different things. While, at first glance, this might seem like a good thing, and it is, it can also become a bad thing if we are not careful. If we allow too much council, too many opinions, then we will never arrive at a true opinion of anything. This reminds me of the people of Athens, during Paul’s day, when the Bible tells us all the liked to do was hear and tell of new things. We can become addicted to the thrill of learning new things. This is what I do personally. With all the vast variety of Bible teachers out there, I limit myself to six different ones who are allowed to speak to me. That’s right; only six. Any others by whom I happen to listen to, I will listen in what I call ‘observation mode.’ This means I am listening to what they are saying, but not necessarily accepting it word for word.
