Why Reading the Bible Isn’t Enough | Daily 5-Minute Bible Devotional with Rob
There is a spiritual deception so subtle that millions of sincere Christians fall for it every day. It’s the belief that simply reading the Bible or listening to sermons is enough. But in James 1:22, we receive a stark warning: if we are only hearers of the Word and not doers, we are deceiving ourselves.
In this daily devotional, we explore:
- The danger of "passive" Christianity.
- The mirror analogy: Why we forget what we look like.
- How Jesus modelled active obedience.
- One practical step to move from hearing to doing today.
Today's Scripture: "But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves." (James 1:22, NLT)
The Battle Drill Daily Devotional is a 5-minute daily reflection for those who want to strengthen their faith and live out whole-life discipleship. Join Rob Westwood-Payne for clear, practical Bible teaching every day.
