Yeah, But' Christianity.

Key Verse:

James 1:22 — *"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."*

**Main Point**:

How often do we hear God speak clearly through His Word or His Spirit, and our immediate response is, “Yeah, but…”? It’s a common excuse we give when His commands challenge our comfort. God says, “Forgive,” and we respond, “Yeah, but you don’t know what they did.” He says, “Trust me,” and we reply, “Yeah, but what about my plans?” The 'Yeah, but' attitude is a clever way of sidestepping obedience, but it leaves us stuck in spiritual immaturity. God means what He says—and our excuses only delay the blessings He wants to pour out through our obedience.

**Simple Application**:

Next time you catch yourself saying “Yeah, but” to God’s direction, pause and ask yourself, “What am I really afraid of?” Surrender that hesitation to Him. Remember, His commands aren’t suggestions—they are pathways to life. Trust Him enough to say, “Yes, Lord,” and follow through.

**Brief Prayer**:

"Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve responded to You with excuses and hesitation. Help me to trust Your Word fully and to respond with faith, not excuses. Give me the strength to be a doer of Your Word, saying 'Yes' to all You ask. In Jesus' name, Amen."
