     Through my travels, I have learned that the only way to hear God’s voice, or to receive guidance from God, is to silence our own thoughts. – To shut up (our mind-chatter,) and Listen!   
   As it says in MATTHEW, chapter six: verse six, when you pray (paraphrased) go into your closet and pray in silence, for God already knows what you need to ask for even if you do not know what to ask Him. Do not go out making noise on the streets like pagans, or think that your prayers will be heard by verbose language and long-drawn-out prayers. 
     As Christians and, also, non-Christians, people seek things, however, there remains confusion as to what they are seeking!   Furthermore, that which a man seeks does, indeed, change over time. 


I believe all human beings, (“good,”and evil,”) are seeking the same thing, ultimately, which is:


unconditional love.  


Where does a man find unconditional love? 


     To find that Love, he must search his heart, for there is place where God resides; there is the Temple from which Jesus tossed the tables over and told his fellow men to stop selling merchandise in his Father’s house!  


Many men are selling useless merchandise to their own hearts- this merchandise being those ideas and material things which draw us away from Jesus’ message!


    MATTHEW 6:6-8 is instructive as to how to begin to speak to God and how to hear his unique message intended for each, individual man. As in ROMANS 12:1-21, every man has a different purpose, a different skill; and finding strength lies in recognizing that skill and applying that gift in service to God.  


God has graced me with the gift of writing!  Along with that gift, he has allotted me the understanding of teaching- a gift which, inherently, invites my fellow man to judge me more than most!  “Those who teach are judged more harshly than those who do not teach.” (Paraphrased)


At first, was the word, and the word was with God, and through his word, God created the heavens and the earth. 


SILENCE seems to be the most useful tool to get others to listen. A man who is always talking- the crowd stops listening because he is ALWAYS talking; but a man who is mostly silent, when he speaks, the crowd listens, for they think, “that man has something to say!”  In quietude, we find, not just solace, not just peace, but the “wisdom of old;” for the tower of babble was a place where more language meant less God!  


To young men who choose not to understand, because their questions get in their own way of seeing the Light- The Answer, I suggest the book of ECCLESIASTES, for Solomon shared with us that all things happen under the sun. This is nothing new, and human thought is but a twig floating down the stream of life!!!


As to spare you from my rambling, Eric, below is a copy and paste of how far I have gotten in building a Young Men’s Bible Study. I have been pondering about it for about two years now. 
It began as a sermon I wanted to write, but has developed into a Mission (in the true, Christian, Traveling sense of the Word.)




As a result of this, “YouTube, TicToc society,” I am writing a sermon concerning MATTEW 6:6-8.   Below is a copy and paste of how I wish to go about opening a Bible Study Fellowship:


With Love,
Chip

Praying In Silence
“ But when you pray,
go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father,
who is unseen.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.
And when you pray,
do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them,
for your Father knows what you need
before you ask him.”
MATTHEW 6:6-8
