About this listen
Aloha and welcome to The Mission North Shore's podcast! What if the Bible isn't just meant to be read, but lived? This powerful exploration of James 1:22-25 challenges us to move beyond passive listening to active doing. The central metaphor is striking: God's Word is like a mirror that reveals our true spiritual condition. Just as we wouldn't look in a physical mirror, see something amiss, and walk away unchanged, we shouldn't encounter Scripture without allowing it to transform us. The message confronts a comfortable Christianity where we sit, listen, and leave unchanged. James warns that merely hearing the Word while failing to act on it is self-deception. We're fooling ourselves if we think attendance and note-taking fulfill our calling. The 'perfect law that gives freedom' isn't meant to burden us but to liberate us into the life God designed. When we look intently into Scripture, continue in it, and actually do what it says, we're promised blessing 'in the doing' itself.
