Effective Listening
There are certain basic principles that will help us perform our evangelism well and prevent us from being sidetracked. Humans have the capacity to listen to three times the number of words they can speak in a given length of time. In personal evangelism, there is a time to voice an opinion and a time to keep silent.

Finally, a hand shot up and a youngster offered this sage solution: "Listening is wanting to hear." When a Christian wants to hear someone else's ideas, and really cares about their views, then effective listening can take place. Consider some of the helps and hindrances to effective listening.
"Effective Listening is wanting to hear."
