Your perception of the word determines the salvation of your soul. James 1:22- 27 But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. What did you do from last week?
When you make a change it is a change for good? Verse 25- Are you a doer of the work?
Sometimes people say do it like you do it for work. The truth is living for God is greater than the type of effort that you do for your job.
If you commit something to God you can not stop doing it. You are supposed to keep doing something.
Verse 26- You have to be able to control your tongue.
Verse 27- You need to be sympathetic to people.
Acts 20:19-20 Verse 20- it doesn’t matter whether someone tells you behind the pulpit or at your own house it is stil the word.
Ezekiel 33:30-33 God has come to change your life but some people don’t respect the word.
Some of you are neglecting the word by not doing anything. As a Christian parent you are not going to neglect checking on your kids to see what they are doing on some of these social media sites. A lot of stuff on facebook is vanity and the bible talks about vanity. If you think that you are private with some of the sneaky stuff that you might be doing you are not.
Deuteronomy 28:45-48 God has done all these things for you and you are depressed about serving God. God does not like you murmuring and complaining. We should be thankful, joyful and glad.
