“Theology is now called to listen fully to the world, even if such a listening demands a turning away from the church's witness to Christ.”

“When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.”

“The Church is now more like the Scribes and Pharisees than like Christ… What are now called the "essential doctrines" of the Christian religion he does not even mention.”

“Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
The world should listen then — as I am listening now.”

“I took out my watch and listened to it clicking away, not knowing it couldn't even lie”

“Listening to the conversation, his faith in the stupidity of human nature was fully restored.”

“Even the silence
has a story to tell you.
Just listen. Listen.”

“It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go — away”

“Even from far away, I could see people being chased by hellhounds, burned at the stake, forced to run naked through cactus patches or listen to opera music.”

“Listeners should rejoice right now, because there are believers all across your listening area that are praying now. And I would say that if you can't attend the rally, you can pray. And God calls us to fall on our faces and our knees and cry out to Him and confess our sins. And I would just ask your listeners to do that now. Cry out to a Holy God. He wants to hear us, He will hear us if we will confess our sins and cry out to Him. Our children are worth it and obedience to God demands it.”
