On listening to sermons

I think another mark of sanctification is getting excited when the truth is preached faithfully and, well, truthfully during a sermon. No matter how dry the sermon might be delivered, something inside you screams “Amen!” when dat scripture is getting explained correctly. Because at some point during your walk, you realize there are false teachers out there, and quite a few of them! So we praise the LORD that we are given ears to hear him and no one else (John 10:4-5). 1 Corinthians 13:6 cannot have it any other way.
