Hearing and Doing

Living in Covenant

A Heart-felt Covenant

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Jesus Teaches about Spiritual Discernment

Matthew 7:24-29 New International Version

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

For Reflection

Hearing the word of God is only the beginning of eternal spiritual life. Just reading the bible, listening to sermons, or regularly attending worship is not enough.  Christ is waiting for you to internalize the Word and live it fully and courageously.  

Pray

Make living the wordyour prayer.
