Be Doers of the Word
What does it mean to be a doer of God's word? James 1:22 calls believers to be doers of the word and not hearers only, emphasizing that genuine faith is demonstrated through obedient actions. To be doers of the word is to actively live out what the Bible teaches rather than just listening or reading it. Following God's word through deeds like acts of charity and personal purity makes faith evident, as this active obedience shows true trust and transforms lives.

Sometimes God wants obedience more than organization, faith more than flawless execution. Here's why your holy mess of a ministry might be exactly what the world needs.
