Practical Teaching

It's one thing to know a lot about weightlifting and another thing actually to lift weights. It's one thing to know a lot about nutrition and another thing to eat healthily. Similarly, it's one thing to know a lot about the Bible and another thing to live out what it teaches. That's why the Christian life isn't just about knowledge. It's when our acts of faith intersect with God's faithfulness that our faith grows. From Jesus' parable of the wise and foolish builders, we discover that hearing and learning are not enough. The value is in the application, because, in the end, it's obedience that makes all the difference.
