22. Hear and Obey

In this episode we talk about the vital importance of not just hearing the Word but also of doing it.Here are the resources that I mentioned in the episode:The George Müller quote can be found HERE.Open Bible can be accessed HERE. (This link will take you directly to the page where you can search for topics; so, it removes a step in how I described it on the episode).Got Questions can be accessed HERE. (This website has extremely helpful articles on almost any topic relevant to Christianity. While I don't 100% agree with absolutely everything in all of the articles, I use this phenomenal resource very frequently and would commend it to just about anyone).A list of biblical topics can be found HERE. (This link will take you directly to the page; so, you can skip all the steps that I mentioned in the episode).Some of the primary Scriptures I referenced:James 1:22-25.2 Corinthians 3:17-18.John 8:34-36.Matthew 5:3.Matthew 5:8.Matthew 7:24-27.Matthew 4:4.2 Timothy 3:16-17.Psalm 119:160.John 16:13.John 17:17.Proverbs 12:15.Proverbs 28:26.**CLARIFICATIONS**At around 6:45 I said that for some people conviction is a spiritual experience. Conviction from the Holy Spirit is indeed a spiritual experience for all of us. My point was simply to say that many people feel as though they are doing well simply because the Holy Spirit convicted them of something even if they don't act on that conviction. This would of course be hearing but not doing.At around 39:00 I said something along the lines of wanting Jesus to be real in our experience. I try to be careful to accurately communicate what I mean when I use this type of verbiage. Obviously, Jesus is real. Period. Whether or not someone believes in Him does not affect the fact that He is real, that He is alive, and that He is at the right hand of God. What I meant was that He will become more real to us in our practical experience. To say it another we, we experience Him more intimately.At around 48:00 I quickly quoted Matthew 4:4. My wording was slightly off (although it did not change the meaning). Here is the exact wording: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."Feel free to email any questions or comments you have to [email protected].
