I've noticed that when I sit at the feet of certain talk radio guys, I begin to see the world from an unbiblical perspective. Let me explain. I begin to see people from a certain party or a certain political perspective, as the enemy, as my enemy. My "blood boils" when I think of them, and soon that turns to rage. My issue is this...the Bible clearly tells us that "flesh and blood" are not our enemies. Is sitting at the feet of someone for any length of time, that has an unbiblical worldview, a wise thing? If, while sitting at their feet, I sense a shift within my heart to see people as the enemy, rather than a mission field to be reached...is it a wise thing to sit at their feet? Consider this passage...
How much better it is when I sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to what He has to say about the world, about government, about everything! When I do sit at His feet, I begin to see the world in the way that He sees the world. Jesus told us it is the one thing necessary for us...to sit at His feet and listen to Him. He didn't tell us that listening to talk radio was the one thing necessary, or that serving was the one thing necessary...no, He said sitting at His feet and listening is the one thing necessary!
I find it interesting, compelling, convincing and inspiring that history is replete with an abundance of people that do this and are fruitful, successful and world changers....Joseph (son of Jacob), Mary, George Washington Carver, Yonggi Cho, and so on and so on.
May we be those who sit at Jesus' feet and listen to His voice!
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. NASUAre these very popular talk radio guys viewing the world through accurate lens? I've found myself having struggles with reaching out to people of vastly different political perspectives. And I believe it's because I'm putting up contentious walls when I sit at the feet of certain talk radio guys. Shouldn't I be viewing the devil and his minions as who I wrestle with, who I war against?

Luke 10:38-42 38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me." 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." NASUI wonder if the Lord would say to me when I'm listening to talk radio..."Kevin, Kevin, you are worried and bothered about so many things, but only one thing is necessary...choose the better part, sit at My feet and listen to My voice."
