     | 5,073 views

    Is the Christian life a constant challenge to improve and please God, or a soft rocking chair of comfort as we wait for heaven? The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Sometimes it seems that the Christian community is divided into two different camps. One camp views the Christian life as one of a constant challenge to do better, to try harder, to work to please God. And the other extreme tends to see the Christian life as basking in the warm glow of salvation ...read more

    We can be hearers of the Word and deceive ourselves, or we can be doers of the Word and be blessed. James calls each Christian to be a doer of the Word, receiving the blessing of doing what God commands.

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 ...read more
