Ears to hear in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Paul quotes Isaiah in this passage. He quotes the verses where God tells Isaiah to bring his message to the Israelites that they have closed their hearts to God and no longer have ears to hear. Paul then says that because they don't have ears to hear and are too busy quarreling among themselves to see the truth of Christ that the Gentiles will hear and believe the message of salvation through Christ.

Proud - But Lost - #5740
Do you know what God does with us men when we refuse to admit that we're lost without Him? In His love, He brings something into our life that we can't control, and we can't fix. Maybe He's doing that for you right now. He's showing you what's actually been true all along: you're not really in control, no matter how much you thought you were.

The Magnet In That Old Hunk of Wood - #5735
Not Christianity, not rituals, not beliefs, not even the great teachings and miracles of Jesus. It was His cross. See, there really is a magnet in that old hunk of wood; a magnet that draws us to the foot of that cross to see how very much He loves us.
