Eargate

Eargate - what a word. We looked at our eyegate last week. We hear with our ears, therefore our ears are the hearing gates to our soul.

Mark 4:24 Jesus is speaking and he tells us to "Take heed what ye hear:"

We as Christians need to be very careful what we listen too. We may think it does not hurt us to hear things as long as we do not repeat them. If we listen to gossip it goes into our soul and even tho we may not repeat it. It is there and it makes us look at the people gossiped about in a different light. Our preception of that person has changed because we listened to gossip. What if the gossip was not true, you know how that little game goes. It may have started out as truth but when everyone gets through with it it usually does not resemble what it started out to be.

What about the music we listen to. Not all music is bad. Not all music is good. But if we listen to music that suggests sexual inuendos it makes us think about those things we probablly sould not be thinking about.

The argument is going to be - everybody does it, how am I going to learn about things, if someone tells we things, its not my fault. As Christians we can cut it off at the pass. Just say, "I don't want to hear about (that persons) problems. I don't want to listen to that kind of music. I don't want to see that type of movie.

Pray about it. My prayer today is we will all be careful about what we listen too.

God bless and have a wonderful day.
