     Matthew 7:21-27
     [Verses 21,24,26 have the word "doeth"
      Verse 23 "I never knew you"]

     -- Once truth is heard then you are responsible to act on it in the 
        correct manner.

     -- Knowledge that does not lead to obedience is DANGEROUS!

        Be a doer of the word and not a hearer only.
