FHU: Those Background Sounds

I’m typing this brief post during the 8:30AM lecture on Wednesday. I’m listening to one of my heroes of the faith, Dr. Earl Edwards. He is preaching on Micah 7 under the title “The New Exodus,” and, as always is helping us gain deeper understanding of that great text.

But what I want to mention here are the other speakers. If you have ever been to a lecture in Loyd Auditorium, you have been able to hear the muted sounds of other speakers, delivering lessons in the four balcony auditoriums, which are just divided by a thick, rolled-back curtain.

While it does make it hard to concentrate at times, I love that sound. It is the sound of four other faithful teachers sharing truths from God’s Word. One of the great things about these programs is the choice of speakers and topics that one has interest in. I can picture in my mind’s eye those sitting in the balconies, enjoying and learning from their lessons as much as I am as I type this.

May there always be enough faithful students of God’s Word that these background, muted sounds continue!
