Many of us do not want to hear the word of God or are not open to hearing the word of God. We are closed off from even having a discussion. Could this partly be an effect of those trying to deliver the message? Many who deliver the message probably do so wrongly and turn off the listener as if by lecture we may deliver the word of God. Or we may admonish and say “you’re going to burn in Hell my friend, but I love you… now why won’t you listen to me?” I wonder why they won’t listen. “Religion” has become a bad word because what is said and what is perceived being said is a negative message, “believe, or else!” We deliver the message: rules save you from the fires of hell. What rules? Our rules. Jesus didn’t offer a set of rules but a relationship. Many who might listen have turned the incoming noise off, and tuned it out, because they don’t want to be lectured by others. I get it.
