Falling on Deaf Ears?

In a recent article by Albert Mohler called “Falling on Deaf Ears? Why So Many Churches Hear so Little of the Bible“ which focused on and quoted from an article from Christianity Today magazine , highlighting concern that contemporary Christianity has become “impatience with and resistant to the reading and preaching of the Bible.” Please read Albert Mohler’s Article Here: http://www.albertmohler.com/2013/10/14/falling-on-deaf-ears-why-so-many-churches-hear-so-little-of-the-bible-2/

Below are a few quotes from the article:

“The fixation on our own sense of need and interest looms as the most significant factor in this marginalization and silencing of the Word.”

“How can so many of today’s churches demonstrate what can only be described as an impatience with the Word of God? The biblical formula is clear: the neglect of the Word can only lead to disaster, disobedience, and death. “

“In the end, an impatience with the Word of God can be explained only by an impatience with God. We all, both individually and congregationally, neglect God’s Word to our own ruin. As Jesus himself declared, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
