“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” - James 1
so simple. do it.
i dont like when we sit around analyzing the bible and talking and feeling all enlightened and close to god, and then live a completely normal life. we have the amazing privilege of knowing who god is and we take it for granted so often. we all talk the talk very well, but when do we ever really walk it out?
sometimes i wonder what a nonbeliever would do if suddenly they were in my shoes, if they knew god and had such a great community of believers and such awesome opportunities to pursue the growth of their faith (which i really do have but often dont appreciate or take advantage of). i wonder what their life would look like and what they would be doing, wonder how much light and love they would be sharing. then i look at my life and what im doing, and what other believers are doing. and our lives often seem just as average and earth-bound and lost as those who dont know christ.
im sick of claiming to be a part of a radical belief yet living normally.
