It's never a minor thing to know God's will and not do it. That's blatant disobedience and God calls that sin. We can come up with several excuses for our lack of obedience, but in the end, there's no real excuse. We rationalize and procrastinate. At times we even deceive ourselves into thinking that good intentions are enough. But they aren't. Good intentions without corresponding activity is still disobedience. When we encounter God and He gives us a direction, it's not enough to just take it under consideration. And making public commitments is not the same as obeying God. We have to make the decision to obey and actually do it! We will never be perfect in this life. But God desires obedience from us. And only obedience will satisfy "God's desire" for obedience!
James 4:17
Therefore to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
