The conversation after church, from a biblical perspective, should go like this:

“How was your hearing today?”

“Pretty good.  I was attentive, and I’ve taken the truth to heart.  I want to hold on to it, so I’ve taken some notes, and I’m going to be praying about it this weekend.  I don’t want to lose what God has given me.”

The sad truth is, most of us would worry more about losing our wallets in church than we would about losing the truth that God laid out for us.
