"Deep" is not defined by how much you know but by what you DO.
James 2:26 says "As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead."
I don't want to know if you prayed the "sinner's prayer." I want to SEE you live a radically changed life because you were transformed from the inside out by Jesus. Some people are hanging on to a prayer they prayed or their perfect attendance in church but have never had a transformed life.
Whatever is on the inside will eventually come out! (Luke 6:45)
Every week my primary concern in preaching is not that you would merely know something but that what you hear would lead you to doing something about what you heard.
James 1:22 says it best: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
