Knowledge of God’s Word both its laws and it’s promises are of no value unless that knowledge results in behavior that strives to act according to it.  James tells us that the devil himself knows the word of God and even “believes” it.  He even twists the word of God itself to destroy everything that God has created especially his Kingdom, the Church.  God wants everyone to hear His good news about His Son, believe and become good citizens of His eternal Kingdom the Church.  We gather to grow and attract many more people to come into Christ’s Kingdom of grace to hear and believe THE GOSPEL.
