Random Thought #32

Today as I read James chapter 1, I realized that "American Christians" have a problem with being doers of the Word because they cannot be humble hearers of the Word. Many "Christians" do not humble themselves to hear the Word of God when it is preached and taught. Instead they make comments such as the Bible is not relevant to the world that we live in today. How arrogant is it to say that the eternal, sovereign God of the universe could not see what the world would be like today, and could not put principles into His Word that are relevant for us to live by 2000 years after the last pages were written? Not only is this motivated by man's pride, but by man's unwillingness to submit to God who has placed His Word as authority in our lives.
