Santa, in a sense, you are right that the word preached or read is the most likely way to get an experience that makes a life-changing difference. In my life, there is no limit to how God may gently speak to me. It may be circumstances, or Godly advice, or a still small voice as I'm listening to Him, or in my prayers.
I do get the point though, that entertainment is not the purpose.
I can't help it that I am giddy about heavenly entertainment, with pearl gates and jewels everywhere and a rainbow around the throne and angels crying holy holy holy. and harpers and new songs and beasts and whoa! the King of Kings sitting on the throne! That's the
substance of things hoped for.
You PM me when you are about to come here. If I can help you and Mrs. Claus get oriented and comfortable, I'm happy to do so.
