Thanks for tuning in to today's Daily Drive with Lake Point Church, a daily dose of God's word for your morning drive.

When the word, not the world, becomes the majority of your week, your life will start to change.

For that reason, our prayer is that God will speak to you through today's devotional.

Well, hey guys, welcome to the Daily Drive. If we haven't met, my name is Carlos, and I get to be a part of the

pastoral team here at Lake Point. And we get to hang out this week for a few minutes every day as we dive together into the Word of God. And today, let me read the book of James

chapter 1, verse 22 to 25. It says this, do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves.

Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says,

it's like someone who looks at his face in a mirror,

and after looking at himself, goes away,

and immediately forgets what he looks like,

but whoever looks intently into the perfect law

that gives freedom and continues in it, not forgetting what they have heard,

but doing it, they will be blessed in what they do.

There's a certain deception that takes place amongst Christians today that merely listening

to the Word of God is enough for your spiritual life and walk with Jesus.

Some of us might be in a place where we attend church regularly, read our Bibles frequently,

listen to Bible podcasts habitually, read Christian books occasionally, and all of those things

are great, they're powerful, important, and necessary in your life. But listen to this. In enough itself, those things are not the point.

It doesn't end with the sermon or the Bible podcast or the Christian devotional book or your

personal quiet time in the morning.
