Episode notes
Listen Twice, Speak Once
- Be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath as James instructs for controlling anger and being others-centered.
- Practice listening more and speaking less to reduce selfish anger that rarely produces God's righteousness.
Receive The Word Humblely
- Receive the implanted Word with meekness so it can change and save your soul, not merely inform you.
- The Word of God has power to preserve and rescue both now and eternally when truly received.
Turn Hearing Into Doing
- Don't stop at hearing Scripture; act on it — be a doer, not merely a hearer, to avoid self-deception.
- Translate sermons and study into obedience so your faith stands like a house on rock.
