Deceiving ourselves

Unfortunately, we’ve conditioned ourselves to hear messages without responding. Sermons become Christian entertainment. We go to church to hear a well-developed sermon and a convicting thought. We’ve trained ourselves to believe that if we’re convicted, our job is done. If you’re just hearing the Word and not actually doing something with it, you’re deceiving yourself.—Crazy Love, electronic edition

Hmmm...that sounds familiar, doesn't it. Kinda like something straight out of the book of James, isn't it? Not much has changed in almost 2000 years, has it?
