070123 No room to listen

You can't afford to listen. 

To listen - you risk thinking, 

To think - you risk doubting, 

To doubt - you risk changing your mind

To change your mind - you risk losing that treasure which is most precious to you.  

If you don't want to lose the treasure, you can't listen. 

So your only option is to close your ears and open your mouth.  This is is where Evangelism and Apologetics get their power.  There is no room to listen.
