Luke 8:18
Take heed therefore how you hear: for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not…


That we may so hear, as to profit by hearing, it is required —

2. That we hear with impartiality.

3. That we hear with meekness.

4. That we hear the Word with an actual intention of practising what we hear.

(Bp. Smalridge.)
