There are many reasons why you may not want to listen ...some are good reasons; some are not.

"You would readily call me ignorant, foolish, and stubborn.   Like Balaam, you would blame the donkey, when you are the stubborn one.   But sadly enough, most of you don't even know who Balaam is.  For years, you have turned away from the Bible and stubbornly ignored the truth.  The majority of you no longer believe in the truth.   You believe in the Essence, which in essence, is to believe in whatever you want to believe in.   You are like those described in the Book of Judges …believing that what you see fit in your own eyes is sufficient.   And your condition is also quite accurately described in the first Chapter of the Book of Romans …as you've been roamin' around, looking for whatever it is that satisfies your whims:  Because when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations ……changed the glory of the incorruptible God onto an image made like to corruptible man.   So God gave you up to uncleanness through the lusts of your own hearts.  You chose to deceive yourselves …now you can easily be deceived by others.  Most of you want to believe in what the majority believes in.  You believe in the technological dabble, dabble ---trying to reach perfection through our informational Tower of Babel, babble, babble, psychobabble.  Sounding brass, tinkling cymbal, disguised by our symbol of freedom ---of speech and expression.  The majority of you, when faced with not being the majority …became the majority because most of you didn't want to be in the minority.  And you continue to be uncommitted to views that are unpopular.  Even those of you who still believe Jesus died for  you, don't choose to live for  Him …so others miss seeing your commitment, and fail to desire to live with Him.  Only a minority will believe, always what they alone believe in.  It is those who have strong conviction.  But among those who have strong conviction, you also have your divisions.  You have the strong wrong, and the fight for the right.  Sadly, the strong wrong feel they are right.  And those who fight for the right, often fight for what they feel is right, not the battle God would choose for them. They often stand firm when challenged and at times are rather convincing."
