Silence isn't just the absence of noise. It's a presence that brings us energy, clarity, and deeper connection.
~ Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz in GOLDEN: THE POWER OF SILENCE IN A WORLD OF NOISE
Those who are learned love to talk about what they know; and as they know much, they talk much. Yet to hear God, they must LISTEN. The learned often make a storage room of their mind, where so much is stored that there is no room left for God to enter and dwell in it ... The learned like to argue for the sake of arguing. It becomes a game, and in the end they love the argument and miss the opportunity to hear God.
