Christians are talking where they should be listening

Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among
Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should
be listening. But he who can no longer listen to one another will
soon no longer be listening to God either; they will always be
talking even in the presence of God. This is the beginning of the
death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing
left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in
pious words ... never really speaking to others.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), "Life Together"
