The first practical use of television was in Germany. Regular television broadcasts began in Germany in 1929 and in 1936 the Olympic Games in Berlin were broadcast to television stations in Berlin and Leipzig where the public could view the games live. And since then people have been sitting around staring at the box.
Ever try to tell someone something while they are into a football game or a movie? Quite honestly, they don’t like the interruption and most likely whatever is relayed to them goes in one ear and out the other.
Why? They can not hearing what is being said because they are not concentrating (listening) to what you have to say for their attention is captivated by something else.
The 1st time I saw a TV, was in the mid 50’s when we went down to visit my grandparents in Los Angeles. My grandpa loved the westerns and really got into them. There was no way you could talk to him when he was watching one of his westerns for he was totally captivated by them.
John 5:37 (JESUS talking) The FATHER (GOD) who sent ME has and continues to HIMSELF testify (teach) concerning ME .. (but) you have never heard (listened to/ heeded) HIS voice…
Although GOD has testified concerning JESUS, and that testimony continues many have not heard GOD’s words because they were thinking about other things and didn’t listen to or pay attention to HIS voice.
John 5:38 You do not have HIS (GOD’s) word remaining in you for you do not believe HIM (JESUS) whom HE (GOD) sent.
It is evident that GOD’s words went in one ear and out the other because they did not result in belief.
Romans 10:17 faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.
John 5:38 They diligently search the scriptures…
Many study the Bible and can quote it with ease and yet we know that they are not stopping to listen to the still small voice of GOD because they don't apply it in their lives.
John 5:40 … they refuse to come to JESUS…
John 6:45 All will be taught by GOD, (but only) those listening and learning from HIM will come to ME (JESUS)
Remember me telling you about my grandpa and his captivation with westerns? Well, eventually it cost him. One day Popo got so excited while watching one his westerns that his old heart couldn’t take it and he went to be with the LORD.
What captivates you? What do you concentrate on? Who are you listening to?
Revelations 2:7 “Anyone who wants to hear must listen to the Spirit and (only then) he will understand …
