Hearing God minus Obedience equals Deceived (James 1:22)

Consider the shallowness of saying, “I went to church today.” Making this claim sounds like the summon bonum is church attendance. While attending a place of worship is certainly desirable, let us acknowledge that merely hearing a sermon is not enough. In fact, if once listens to a Bible-based message without putting it into practice they are kidding themselves and putting themselves at risk.

Joshua 1:8 says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

God’s word should be put into our minds and mouths, and then into put into action!
