Title
As I Learn to Receive Instruction
Scripture
He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
(Proverbs 15:32)
Devotional
Have you ever been around people who know it all and will not listen to the ideas or directions of others? They are pretty obnoxious aren’t they? As a preacher of the Gospel of Christ, I unfortunately see this negative characteristic manifest in church services. There will inevitably be people who attend with an “I dare you to teach me anything” attitude. They sit, usually in the back part of the auditorium, hands folded across their chest, with a look that would stop an attacking rhinoceros.
