Be Doers Of The Word
Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 8, 2022 (message contributor)
There is a made-up story about a man who had a dream about heaven. The story is not true but the point it illustrates is true. In this story a man had a dream he died and went to heaven. He toured heaven and it was marvelous just as he imagined it would be. He sees mansions, streets of gold and pearly gates. Then the angels showed him a room with shelves and there were rows and rows shelves with mushrooms on the shelves.
The man asked why so many mushrooms in heaven? The angel explained they were not mushrooms, but they were people’s ears. They were the ears of the many people who heard great Bible messages but did not apply the teaching. The result was that only their ears made it to heaven.
Of course, we don’t believe in the immortality of ears, but in practical Christianity we must be more than hearers. We must be doers of the word. There is action required when hearing takes place. If you think attending church and hearing great biblical messages is enough, you deceive yourself.
