I had the unique opportunity to hear Francis Chan, a pastor in Simi Valley, CA, preach yesterday at a conference in Arlington. He is an exceptional communicator and did a great job. One of the things he said in one of his sermons has haunted me ever since he said it. He talked about how we often pray to hear a word from God. We set aside time to pray and read in hopes that we will hear from God. But then he asked the question, “When we hear a word from God, do we do anything about it?”
He used an illustration of playing a game of Simon Says. He reminded us that when you play Simon Says, all those playing must do what the leader says (emphasis on the word DO). However, when we read in the Bible what Jesus taught, we have taken the approach that we should memorize it but little more. We can quote scripture of what Jesus said, but has it impacted the way we live?
I am still wrestling with this question. How about you? When you hear from God, do you do anything about it?
