4. Simple Christianity: Studies in James 1:19-27 simply obey the word to be like your Father

James, the brother of Jesus, wrote this letter to help believers love God with an undivided heart. The heart is the seat of our loves but sin causes a disordering of our loves. When our loves pull us in different directions we become fragmented, or, as James puts it, double-minded and unstable. True joy comes from loving One Being - God, Who is love.  Keep it simple, silly. James 1:19b - 27Verse 18 - Your Father, of His own compassionate will, chose to give you new birth through His word so that you would be His holy child. Therefore, be like Him.1. Receive with meekness the implanted word (19b-21))2. Persevere in obeying the perfect law of liberty (22-25)3. Reach out to those who are vulnerable (26-27)     Love like your Father!
