Too many hearers, but too few doers. This was a concern of James. It is not enough to attend church, do a Bible app devotion, and try to be a better person. There is so much more to being an authentic disciple of Jesus.
It begins with believing, trusting in, and adhering to God’s Word as your playbook for executing God’s call and mission for your life. As an athlete, my coaches always said, “Never be caught standing still on the field.”
I get the same sense of urgency from James’s admonition to be a doer of the Word. It implies movement, momentum, and action. What did you hear in church yesterday that you can apply and execute today? - Pastor Jimmy
