Talk

There's a lady on our local talk radio station that absolutely drives me crazy. She's opinionated and bossy. She talks over her guests in order to humiliate them and promote her own agenda. I think she's trying to sound smart and sophisticated, but to me she comes across as whiney. And for some reason, I can't help listening to her whenever I am driving around at night.

I don't know Nancy Grace. I imagine, like the lady on the radio, that she is in the entertainment business, not the information business. Last night she interviewed Rubel Shelly and several others about the Church of Christ. Here is a link to the show's transcript.

Talking is important. So is listening. And what makes something important or true is not its entertainment value, but its eternal value. And, what we all need to remember in the midst of debate or discussion or even persecution, is that both the perpetrator of a crime and the victim, both the teacher and the student, both the questioner and answerer have eternal value in God's eyes.
