Scripture focus: Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don't act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like. James 1:22-24 The Message

This is one scary scripture passage!

Some have called this kind of living the great disconnect. In the book Truefaced, there’s a line in it that goes something like this, “Too many people say the right things but live the wrong life.” I confess that I can relate.

So here’s a warning: as we read God’s word, beware of the danger of hearing but not listening, seeing but not recognizing, believing but not trusting, thinking but not doing.
