Jumping Before You've Heard It All - #6482
How are you perceived by your mate, your children, your parents, your friends when it comes to listening? Maybe someone has basically stopped trying. But tell them you want another chance. It takes patience; it takes self-control to listen; not just to a person's words, but to their heart. It is, according to the Word of God, foolish not to listen before you speak.

Tired But Still Ticking - #6452
When a weary fisherman listened to Jesus in his weariest moments, he enjoyed a wonderful catch. He saw a miracle! Obey the Lord. Give, in those moments when you feel like giving out, and you will receive a surprise in return. Christ can enable you each day to be tired but still ticking.

I Know That Voice - #6280
You begin your day by getting used to His voice before you hear any others. Then, when you're getting six voices at once, you'll know your Shepherd's direction from all the rest. You'll sense the call - the tug of Jesus that you heard just this morning, and that you've heard so often. And you'll say, "I know that voice."

Play-Doh People - #6289
Oh, it's easy to be seduced by a world where sin is what's normal. Don't let the world squeeze you. Decide that you will be shaped by Jesus. And then become the mold who shapes other people. Play-Doh people are forever changing shape.

Communication so they keep listening. Keep your audience interested.
Few people can maintain concentration beyond 20 minutes, when listening to a one-way monologue talk, as Speaker Confessions explains. A recent BBC TV program on rhetoric claimed that Dr Billy Graham rarely spoke for more than 20 minutes, and always used jargon-free simple language.
The long talk is not the way we teach kids. No more should it be for adults. One interesting educational development in recent years has been the formulation of adult learning principles. It’s not ‘we talk, you listen’ any more. And surprise surprise, we see here many elements of communication which are clearly demonstrated in the Bible, and also reflect biblical principles of behavior and respect, inter-personal relationships, and an understanding of the individual worth of any person.

Pay attention in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Do you sometimes wonder if God is silent? This verse reminds us that God's will is clear, made plain through the Scriptures, and that what we really need to do is sit quietly and pay attention to what He is saying.

Listen in the Bible: James 1:19
There's one surefire way to avoid speaking foolishly: remain silent, and listen to others instead of telling them what to do. Scripture praises the person who chooses to patiently and wisely listen to others rather than constantly voicing his or her own opinions.

Hebrews 2:1-4 - Into Thy Word Ministries
Listen to Christ. Jesus Christ is supremely greater than all. Thus, we are called to fervently listen, know, and carefully apply what we are taught from the Word as well as from other godly sources.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Communicating Better - #8020
The fact is, most of us are not communication majors. We could use some help in communicating with our spouse, with our kids, with our coworkers, with people in general.
