       Let’s not miss that last part of the first sentence there. It says we become deceived when we are a hearer only, and not a doer. Why is this? Because of the core, basic fact that with knowledge comes pride. People think that if they are very knowledgable, that they then are better than most. They think they understand things through and through, and are a better person as a result. It’s not the person who knows, though, who is smart in God’s eyes, or anyone’s eyes really. It is the person who does. A whole entire church of people can understand the Word of God, the Bible, better than most. If they don’t know how to live, and I mean really live it, then they are deceived. Their knowledge has become a stumbling stone for them. When we don’t practice the word, we are like who one in the bathroom sees what issues we have in the bathroom mirror. We see the hair needs combed, the face needs shaved, the skin needs makeup, but then we just walk away. We are seers only. We understand the problems. It’s just, we don’t do anything about them. We just walk away.
