But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. — James 1:22

What we know and what we believe doesn’t matter much if it doesn’t change the way we act every day. Faith that isn’t lived out in everyday life isn’t faith; it’s just a show. James says the same thing that Jesus did when he told us to put into practice what we had learned from him. Once we know the truth of God’s word, there is only one thing left to do: put it into practice!
