Doers of the Word

"But prove yourself doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." James 1:22

It is official, the Bible is the most popular book in America according to a new survey among 2,513 adults conducted by the Harris Poll.

Surprised? Not really. What is surprising is how a book can be so popular and yet so few put what the book provides into practice. We need only look to other social trends to see popularity has little to do with practicality.

It is not that the Bible lacks power. No, we simply lack the will to put the power into practice.

James 1:22 sums up the age old problem, "But prove yourselves doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." The Bible may be popular, but few are really putting the Bible into practice. We listen. We look. We talk. But the reality of God's Word fails to make it into our walk.

Where are the doers of the Word?
