If I'm trying to compensate my failure to DO THE WORD, by reading and studying even more of The Word, am I not deceiving myself and placing myself in jeopardy of Divine judgment?
If I know the word, yet fail to act on what I know ... how is knowing more and yet doing less, going to benefit His Kingdom? It isn't.
Isn't it strange that His mandate can some how get to the head and even to the heart ... yet never filter down to the feet?
Am I not condemning myself by gaining more knowledge that I fail to act on? Will I indeed be judged by that very knowledge?
Can I compare knowledge to fuel? What's the reason to store fuel if I don't intend to use it?
There was more than one reason God said to the Israelites, "Don't store the manna!"
Eat and share.
More schooling, more degrees, more study, more and more knowledge.
Libraries and bookstores are full of Bibles and great Christian books, yet the streets show no sign of God.
Bookstores and libraries and are full of Bibles and great Christian literature and DVD's, a mega-potential of light! Yet the streets are still full of darkness.
Churches, it seems, are on every corner, yet the streets are still void of hope.
Christianity is spelled out on the streets, by "doers of the Word."
It seems the physical dimension of Spiritual Christianity, is woe-fully missing the streets of life.
Wasn't Jesus a man of the streets?
The Church started when it spilled out on the street, or am I missing something?
Was not "Christian" actually coined on the street, by the people in the streets of Antioch as they watched Believers doing the Word?
Believers doing God's Word outside.
"Be doers of the Word, not "knowers" only" ... Jesus brother James spelled it out in his short book. "James 1:22"
Divine perversion?
Could perversion be knowing more and more of the truth, benefiting from that truth and loving the Truth Giver ... yet unwilling to exercise that truth outside ...
- Knowing Love, yet not doing love?
- Knowing compassion, yet not doing compassion?
- Knowing grace, yet not expressing it?
- Knowing forgiveness, yet not forgiving?
Therefor, the challenge today is getting our feet to the street! After all what are my feet there for?
