Why Do You Call Me Lord, Lord and Not Do What I Tell You?

Are we truly living out our faith, or are we merely going through the motions? This powerful message challenges us to examine the depth of our commitment to God's word. Using the story of Solomon building the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant, we're confronted with a stark reality: it's possible to honor God outwardly while ignoring His commandments in our daily lives. The message draws a compelling parallel between Solomon's elaborate temple and our own tendency to celebrate faith without truly living it. We're reminded that God desires obedience over sacrifice, submission over show. As we reflect on Jesus' words in Luke 6:46-49, we're urged to build our faith on a solid foundation by not just hearing God's word, but by doing it. This calls us to move beyond surface-level spirituality and allow God's truth to penetrate our hearts, transforming us from the inside out.
