Have you ever tried to convince yourself of something? Here's an example: Due to our occasional "stinking thinking", our mode of thinking might be a little on the negative side at times. The world around us tells us that if we turn to self-help books, videos, or teachings so that we can change our direction of thinking into the contrary. Although this might help a little, when we do this we are actually "kidding" (fooling) ourselves into something that is not definite.

In today's teaching of our continuing series "Faith & Action" our study of the book of James, Pastor Ben teaches us about the importance of turning to God's Word (aka the Bible) so that we can get a true heart, mind, and spirit changing experience every time that we read it. With God's Word we are never kidding, fooling, or trying to convince ourselves of anything, rather we are allowing God to come into our hearts and change us for His purposes. The best self-help book available to all of us is God's Word. It's the only one that can truly read us as we read it.

So, are you ready to quit kidding yourself?
