It s like you were never a part of the kingdom of God. Like an outsider, checking things out. The fruit of true religion is acting upon God s Word. Many of us treat hearing a sermon on Sunday like chewing gum. We come for the flavor, then we spit it out, until it s time to pick up another piece.
Many believers are spiritually out of balance.
Some will come to worship service, but not to Sunday School, where they get into the Word. They miss the worship, and in essence they come to church to receive and not to give the Lord the worship that He deserves. There must be balance. In other words, the practice of the Word must be seen in your walk, your work, and your words. Your character, your conduct, and your conversation.
