Doers of the word...even when you don't feel like it.

James 1:22 says, "But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."  What does the word say?

• Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse - Romans 12:14
• Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you - Matthew 5:44
• Honor your father and mother - Matthew 19:19
• Love your Neighbor as yourself - Matthew 22:39
• Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also the interests of others - Philippians 2:4
• Visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world - James 1:27
• And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men - Colossians 3:23
• Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God - 1 Peter 5:6
• Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind - Romans 12:2
• If MY people who are called by MY name will humble themselves, and pray and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land - II Chronicles 7:14

I love the sub-heading in Romans that says behave like a Christian.  The Bible is full of loving commands that will help us grow in our relationship with our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.  But don't misunderstand, God shares His heart with us so we will DO His will.

So, this football season be a doer of the word... bless, love, honor.  And, for all those Monday morning quarterbacks out there (including myself)... behave like a Christian, an R12 (read Romans 12), a Calvary man!
