verse of the day

Not just listening ( Matthew 7 v 24 - 27 )

 Often when I challenges people from the pulpit ,it comes back to challenge me, it easy be it from from the pulpit or wherever to challenge people without taking up the challenge oneself. In James 1 v 22, we read,' Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive  yourselves. Do what it says'. Our Saviour said, ' But everyone who hears these word of mine and does not put them into practice is a foolish man, who built his on sand. The rain came down, the streams arose, and the wind blew and beat  against that house, and it fell with a crash'. Matthew 7 v 26 - 27 .  I am sure you have heard of the sin of omission, were we do  nothing, like those who hear the  gospel, and don't do anything about it ,that's disastrous. If we are Christians ,it is not enough to compliment the preacher on his sermon, rather the question is what will we do with what he said, or I should say what God has said through him?. I wonder are you one of Gods obedient children, or one his disobedient Children?

                                                        A short prayer.  

                              'Render my obedience to thy will holy, natural and delightful,

                               Let me never undervalue or neglect any part of thy revealed

                               will. in Jesus name Amen.   ( Words from ,'The valley of vision)
