Pastor John Wagner serves as a minister at Turning Point Community Church in Lubbock, Texas. His sermons offer guidance on living a Christ-inspired life. Pastor Wagner says that in the Gospels of Mark and Luke, Jesus advises his followers to consider not only what they hear, but also how they hear it. Pastor Wagner says that this wisdom means that believers ought to distinguish the content of God’s message from the act of first hearing it. For example, he says that God reaches the hearts of his children through song lyrics, the advice of a pastor, and the appearance of nature. However, he adds that unless the faithful discern God’s voice from the “noise” of the world, they will remain deaf to His commands.
Pastor Wagner believes that perhaps the most difficult task for a Christian in today’s media-saturated world centers on distinguishing between God’s Word and the dictates of the world. He advises using the following question to separate worldly messages from those worthy of reverence: Does this message correspond to the New Covenant and the salvation Christ purchased for humanity with His Body and Blood?
