Pastor’s October "Beacon” Article: “ Just Do It” -James 1:22-25 We Christians have too many meetings! Where did we get the idea that our goal in the family of faith should be seeing who can absorb the most information? Since when

do we equate spirituality with a numb posterior? Now don’t jump to the conclusion that I’m questioning the value of meeting together. Some of the most helpful & meaningful times in my life have taken place in a gathering of believers. But when I review our Lord’s style of instruction, I cannot help but see how different it was from ours. He never suggested that the Twelve write anything down or repeat His words verbatim. And when He did exhort them, he used simple words, vivid illustrations, everyday examples, and easily understood applications-prompting them to action. Words. Words. Words. We have become “too wordy” in our faith, which explains our excessive interest in meetings. When did we get the idea that more information leads to deeper consecration? Jesus’ arch enemies, the Pharisees, were great on loud, dogmatic commands, lengthy requirement, and drawn-out demands. Oh, how they loved the sound of their own words! But when it cam to doing, they struck out. James exhorts us to be “doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves” -James 1:22. In other words, don’t talk compassion, lend a hand. Don’t pound a pulpit about generosity, give. Just do it. We won’t be met at the portals of heaven by some angel with a clipboard who asks, “And how many meetings did you attend in your lifetime on earth?” But while we’re on earth, there is a question we do need to answer: “Why call ye Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not the things which I say?” “What do you think would happen if, instead of going to some meeting or conference, you spent that time alone with the Father?” There will always be a need for a meeting, but always begin it with prayer. -Charles Swindoll
