James 1:19-27 - More than listening

Faith in Christ involves more than listening to what God has to say, it includes...no requires that we act upon what we have heard. But humans don't really listen well so they have to be told to be quick to listen and slow to speak. We continue with the agenda of our faith as the Book of James describes and compels us.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
