When I was a boy dad had a bobblehead doll on the dash of the car, it was quit entertaining for a little boy in the early sixties. I’m not sure which was my favorite; the classic Detroit Tigers Player held the top spot for a long time, vintage scooby doo was good, my friends catholic nun always got a laugh from me as a teen.

For my young friends here’s the definition of a bobblehead doll: A bobblehead is a type of collectible toy. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring or hook in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name.

I have discovered that bobbleheads are everywhere, especially in the church. Many Christ-followers bob their heads in agreement to the things being said but too often that’s the extent of their acting on the Word they just heard. James warns that this kind of reaction to God’s word will result in a life of instability and want. James 1:9.

Bobbleheads are fun on the dash of a car but not in the Church. James later said, But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned. James 5:12 ( NLT )

Let’s be simple people who say yes or no and mean it!
