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 into God's voice,

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

All right, now here's Rick with part two of a message called Recognizing God's Voice.

Number five, it says, if I get an idea from God, an

impression from God, it's full of mercy. What does that mean? It means if I get an idea from God,

it's going to make me more forgiving of you. It's going to make me more gracious to you. I'm thinking, man, I've been forgiven. I better forgive

everybody else. God has been gracious to me. I better be gracious to everybody else. I say, you know,

God has cut me an awful lot of slack. I better cut my wife an awful lot of slack. And my kids an awful lot of slack. Why? Because God

has been gracious to me. True wisdom, wisdom that comes from God, not human wisdom, not demonic

wisdom, but God's wisdom is full of mercy. You know, some people, this is the dead giveaway that they haven't heard from God.

They think they have, but they haven't because their attitude proves it. When you find people who

think they've heard from God and then they're judgmental and they're critical of everybody else

and they're harsh and they're accusatory and they're critical of everybody else, and they're harsh, and they're accusatory,

and they're always judging other people

and other churches and other leaders and things like that,

you know they have not heard from God.

Now, it just seems that all those people

have congregated on the Internet.

And they have these things called blogs.

Let me tell you something.

It takes no intelligence to criticize.
