There is a flow to God's Word. When a person refuses to hear or heed God's Word, they are faithless, and the flow is stopped.
On the other hand, the unfaithful person is one who stops the flow at the doing of the Word. They neither act on or speak the Word they have heard and come to know. In Titus 1:7-11, we're given a list of behaviors that are necessary for a bishop, pastor, or elder. If those qualities are good for them, wouldn't they be beneficial to us?
The Word mixed with faith keeps the flow of God's Word moving through our lives. How do we mix the Word with faith?
1) Find Word-based teaching.
2) Hear with a yielded spirit and put out doubt, sarcasm, and past failures.
3) Respond immediately.
4) Expect the results promised.
5) Teach someone else these principles.
A faithful person is one who hears, yields, and acts upon/does the Word.
