““If Jesus Christ called you on the phone and asked you to go help your spouse with the dishes, wouldn’t you immediately go from the phone to the sink? Or would you return to your TV show and shrug it off with little or no thought? If a telephone call from Jesus Christ would impress you, then why not His voice in your spiritual ear, whispered from the eternal realms? Are we more impressed with electronics than we are with revelation? Consider again the words just quoted above: And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit [which begins as the conscience], cometh unto God, even the Father.””

John M. Pontius
