I was a wrestler in high school, hard to imagine I know.  During matches there were many voices yelling at me.  My teammates, my coach, my parents, the cheerleaders, the fans,the other teams fans… it was hard to focus on who I was supposed to be listening to.

Sometimes an inner voice yells at us to justify behavior that isn’t Christ-like or demeans the value that we know have in Christ.

Then there are voices from the world (don’t be so radical, religion is a private affair, you are being intolerant, narrow-minded, old-fashioned.  The Bible isn’t relevant, etc.)

Who are we listening to?  Jesus?  Or to something or somebody else?  Be sure you are listening to the right voice.

This is Shane Vander Hart with your Caffeinated Thought of the Day.
