James 1:22-25

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 is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

 

En Espanol, Santiago 1:22-25

I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a great deal about their acts.

scripture

 

John 15:9-14

Jesus says, "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.

 

En Espanol, Juan 15:9-14

Someone has pointed out that the mere knowledge of religious truth “without an honest attempt at translating it into action and putting it into practice, will not profit a person very much.”  Medicine left in a bottle, unused, will not help anybody.  Machinery stored in a shed and never used will be of small value to anyone.  Books that are kept on a shelf and never read will help nobody.

scripture

 

Psalm 19:1-7

The heavens declare the glory of God, the sky proclaims His handiwork. Day to day makes utterance, night to night speaks out. There is no utterance, there are no words, whose sound goes unheard. Their voice carries throughout the earth, their words to the end of the world. He placed in them a tent for the sun, who is like a groom, coming forth from the chamber, like a hero, eager to run his course. His rising-place is at one end of heaven, and his circuit reaches the other; nothing escapes his heat.

 

En Espanol, Salmos 19:1-7

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C. S. Lewis
