James has covered trials, perseverance, wisdom, and keeping our eyes on the prize — and now he tells us why it all matters: do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourself. Do what it says.\nIn this message, Pastor Dallas Herndon walks through three movements in the text:\nBe quick to listen (vv. 19-21) — you cannot be a good doer of the Word if you are not first a good hearer of it. In a culture of shrinking attention spans, the art of hearing has to be recovered.\nDon't deceive yourself (vv. 22-25) — the man who glances in a mirror and forgets his face. Looking only at ourselves, we always come away satisfied. Looking intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, we see Christ — and we see what needs to change.\nPractice pure worship (vv. 26-27) — a tight rein on the tongue, active care for orphans and widows, and a life kept from the pollution of the world.\nAlong the way: what General George McClellan's endless preparation teaches us about good intentions, a Facebook comment that almost got the pastor in trouble, and why Dallas Willard believed discipleship is the greatest issue facing the world today.\nScripture: James 1:19-27 (NIV)\nSeries: The Book of James\nAlso referenced: John 1:1, Matthew 6:25-34, Matthew 28:19-20\nRecorded live at Life Tabernacle Church in Vinton, Virginia, on July 12th, 2026, by Pastor Daniel Dallas Herndon.\n\nWant to connect more with Life Tabernacle?\nVisit us online: lifetabernaclepcg.com\nFeeling led to support the ministry?\nGive securely here: Tithely Giving Link","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/grc1AkQ1QGA5CeZebwgumgDLGg7tJiyQyy12zzMDXas/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYzhi/NWJhNTU0OTMxNDgw/N2NjNzJmMGVjM2M5/NzA1Yy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
