When we give in to sin, we deafen our ears to God’s calls for repentance.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org!   ~~~   Upon Tamar’s pleading with Amnon not to do this vile act of abandoning his sister and leaving her destitute, we once again read, “But he, (Amnon,) would not listen to her.” And in further action, by calling in his servant and demanding that Tamar be kicked out and the door be bolted, Amnon was actually blaming Tamar for the incident. Some of you are deaf this morning, and will not listen to the calls laid upon you to repent of your sin. You blame everyone else for your sin. You hate everyone else for the guilt you know is yours. This is the main point of this passage—when you buy the lie of sin, when you give in, over and over to the deceitfulness of sin, you very well may be sacrificing the ability to hear the voice of God. You refuse to hear the voice of righteousness.
