It’s possible to know a lot of Bible and still resist what God is asking us to do.
James gives us a challenge that is simple, direct, and more than a little uncomfortable: “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.”
God’s Word hasn’t completed its work when we hear it, study it, underline it, or even agree with it. The Word completes its work when we live it.
In this message from James 1:19–27, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., explores what discipleship looks like IRL—in real life. It means receiving God’s Word with humility, allowing Scripture to become a mirror before we use it as a window, controlling our words, caring for vulnerable people, and responding to God with concrete obedience.
