Hey, do you guys know that the God who created the universe wants to talk with you, and not just once, but every day?

Today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick Warren continues his life-changing series called Hearing the Voice of God,

where he reveals how you can tune in to God's voice,

build on a real friendship with him, and discover his direction for your life, loud and clear.

Okay, let's dive right in for the final part of a message called God wants to talk with you.

I couldn't count the number of times over the last

30 years. I've been out on a patio after service and somebody will come up to me in tears

and say, Pastor Rick, that message really touched me. It really, really touched me. But over the next months, you don't see any change in their life.

In fact, maybe I never may even see them again.

They're touched, but they're not transformed.

They're emotionally moved.

They get a quiver in their liver.

Woo!

That was really good.

But as soon as the emotion's gone, nothing happens because they don't

allow the word of God to penetrate the bedrock of their personality. They come for the movement,

they come for the motion, they come for the joy. Notice it says there, the rocky soil represents

those who hear the message with joy. Circle that, with joy.

They're thrilled, but they're not transformed. They walk out the door and immediately forget it.

Which is, by the way, why we have these things at Saddleback, these handout notes.

I've told you many times, the United States Air Force did a study and discovered that we forget

90 to 95% of everything we hear within 72 hours.
