Hear and Do

But be doers of the word and not hearers only,

James 1:22 (HCSB)

The problem for many Christians and church goers is that we are really good at hearing the Word. In fact we have heard so much that we are over stuffed. Years ago Amy Grant sang a song about fat babies. Spiritual babies that is. We have been fed and fed and fed but we have not exercised what we have learned.

James says hear the Word that is great but now also do what you have heard. If we are not doing we have not given proof or evidence that we believe it.

The difference between a church goer and a Christ follower is this: a follower hears and does what he hears. The church goer hears but does not do. Which are you?
