Sermon 9 Jan 10
Series: James. 101, The 4 truth
Title: Walk the talk
The book of James is focusing on the active and the practice to the people at once
James 1:22-25 (New International Version)
22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
The problem with christian like us, is not about getting access with the bible but is acting on what the bible says
Spiritual obesity happens when you know to much and yet not applying to your daily life
The knowledge of the bible will still remain as knowledge of we choose not to apply it.
The bible is not like some "Hocus pocus" thing. The bible is simple,but is simplistic, it is mystical but not mysterious.
It is not about the amount of things we do not know in the bible that needs to bothers you, but is about the amount of things that we knows that we never apply.
The bible is like a mirrors that reflect who you really are. Reflecting the good and bad things about yourselves
You can come to church and listen to the sermon ( looking into the mirror) and yet walk away not having any change;because you never apply it in to your life ( forgetting exactly how you look)
Some of us the reason why we can walk away and forget about ourselves is because we don't trust the mirror(the word of God)
Stop looking into the fun house mirror that tricks you from the exact you. look in tothe real mirror that is from God
Staring at the mirror will not change anything, but acting on it will change something.
The bible cannot change our life, but application can. Tranformation will then be happening
APPLY THE SERMON NOW~!
