The January 2013 issue of Tabletalk features articles examining the biblical call to Christians to develop and exercise the skills of listening well, meditating deeply, and thinking carefully in every area of life. These virtues have been increasingly ignored over the past few decades, particularly as our culture strives to increase our busyness and distraction. The Word of God, most notably the book of Proverbs, exhorts God’s people to cultivate the disciplines of deliberate and careful listening, meditating, and thinking, beginning with his Word and applying these virtues in the family, the church, and the world.
