Sometimes in the Church I wonder if that is all we hear? Wah-Wah-Wah-Jesus-Wah-God-Wah-Friendship-Wah. We hear what the pastor is saying. We tell the pastor how moving his message was. But then we forget to move!
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
People wonder why people in the Church sometimes don't have a purpose. Sometimes I think it is like Christian Comatose!
Sunday morning rolls around and the people file into church. They sit down and
'hear' the pastor. After an hour they start getting restless, looking at their watches, adjusting their butts in the seat. The pastor says those words that most people are waiting for, "let's pray!"

What happened to the days that the word of God changed us! Not only did it change us, but we did something with that change in our life.
Let's not just hear the things that the Bible is saying! Do it!
Don't just be a hearer, be a doer!
Right on! I am with you.
