I am a seeker. In this, I have many teachers, some are well educated and some are not.

They all speak about the same things, but from many different perspectives.

For example, I learn a lot about talking with God and how God works by listening to Joel Osteen’s sermons while driving.

He starts them by saying this:

“This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am.
I have what it says I have.
I can do what it says I can do.”
...

Works for me.

God pours His Grace on all of us, so I imagine everyone has at least something of value to pass along.

However, I find that listening while suspending judgment is hard for me to do, but I’m getting better at it.

Try substituting Andy Woods for the Joe; Osteen listening. Osteen is not a God ordained Teacher. His prosperity gospel is not the Gospel of Salvation, for it appeals to the carnal nature not the spiritual.
