Listening to God in This Noisy World

Dear Friend,

Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
This edition is special not only because it’s the first edition of this new year, but because EGM Times has entered its 14th year of publication. I still remember the night God placed the vision for this magazine in my heart. I did not begin as an expert in publishing; I began as someone willing to obey. I did not know where the journey would lead, but I was convinced that this magazine must be an uncompromising voice of God for this generation. Today, as we step into year fourteen, I am deeply grateful to Him.

Thank you to our readers around the world for being part of the EGM Times family. We remain committed to sharing Christ-centered, life-transforming biblical reflections and faith-building testimonies that strengthen and nurture your walk with the Lord.

We begin this year with a timely theme: “Listening to God in a Noisy World.” There was a season in my life when I felt spiritually dry and distant from God. My prayers seemed unanswered, and I wondered if He had stopped speaking. Later, I realized the truth: God had not stopped speaking; I had allowed the noise around me to dull my sensitivity to His voice.

We live in a busy world, but hearing God is not optional; it is essential. When we quiet the distractions and cultivate spiritual discipline, we position ourselves to hear the faithful voice of our Shepherd.

May this edition help you silence the noise, renew your sensitivity to His voice, and rediscover the joy of walking closely with Him.

In His Service
