James 1

Today we are reading James 1. In this chapter we read about obedience to God’s word. “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.” James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬ James tells us “receive the implanted word”. How do you receive it? We receive the word when we do not resist it or contradict it or argue against it. We humbly submit to it. James also calls us to be doers of the word. Who do you know that is a doer of the word? May your life inspire others to be doers! Pastor Tim
