Taking Time to Listen




"Music can be an instrument for the expression of worship, but there are other spiritual disciplines that come closer to the essence of pure worship-activities like prayer, giving, thanksgiving, and listening to the Word of God as it is proclaimed and expounded.  It is significant that Jesus spoke of truth, not music, as the distinctive mark of true worship (John 4:23-24)." (Quoted from the book "Worship the Ultimate Priority" by John MacArthur)

In our day, we as believers have so many resources at our fingertips. One of the greatest resources I've found that works for me as a busy mother is listening to sermons or bible studies on the computer. While folding clothes, making dinner, and exercising are great times I like to take advantage of filling my mind with His Word.  Constant learning of His Word and growing in the knowledge and grace is what we should desire...after all, He has made us a new creation.  I thought I would share some of my absolute favorites (these are ones that CHANGED my life) that you might be blessed by as well.  These are all free downloads.  You should be able to simply click on the links below.
