Listen to Know the Word, Do the Word
Some people know the Word. Others do it. We will not be balanced until we learn to balance our knowledge with our actions. God reveals himself through His Word.
1.The poor listener ; Be quick to listen
2.The Over-talker ; Be slow to speak
3.The Fast Fuse ; Be slow to anger
4.The Relatively Righteous Hypocrite ; Remember the whole gospel while Doing the Word
James 1:19-27 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. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
