"And behold, you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument, for they hear what you say, but they will not do it." -- Ezekiel 33:32

Very little has changed over the years. There are still many that sit under the preaching of the Word looking for sermons that are given with a beautiful voice, filled with soothing content. When the message calls for repentance or a lifestyle change, it might be heard, but rarely obeyed.

In the passages before us we are overwhelmed with the work of God's judgment on His people. How could they have become so evil, you may ask? Where does such rebellion and idolatry begin? It all begins with hearing what we want to hear and ignoring what we need to obey. Without repentance there can be no redemption.

Oh my friend, these pages are hard to read but so very sobering. Be wise in your study of the Scriptures. Pay careful attention to the Word preached and listen with an obedient ear. Open your heart to the will of God and your way will always be greatly blessed.
