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 (Matthew 7:26). Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says (James 1:22).
‘You see, Christianity is not just about information: it is about transformation. It is not just about challenge: it is about change. It is not about hearing, it is also about adhering. The one who hears the Word and puts it into practice is wise. The one who hears the Word carefully but does not, in prayerful dependence on God, put it into practice, is self deceived ’ (David Cook in The Unheeded Christ).
