Bread of Life Fellowship

From James 1:9-11 the danger of finding our identity in temporary things is corrected by the truth found in God's Saving GRACE!

God entices us to ask for wisdom holding out to us a promise, a provision, and His own generous presence. Finally He entices us with a precedent set. God is a giving God. Finally there one proviso... Ask in faith and don't doubt the Provider. Introductory words on the author James and then an in depth look at the promise to give wisdom to those who lack it.

When Jesus cried out, "If anyone thirst come to me and drink" we must understand that he was present before those he was inviting. He still is. The waters of revival are not far from us but right before us.

Ruble #1 - We lose sight of God's power; Ruble #2 - we replace the authority of His word with our own renditions and our own needs, the doctrines are replaced with ethics and moralisms and we forget all that Christ has delivered us from and does deliver us from. Ruble #3 - We become dispossessed of the wonderful doctrines of justification, regeneration and therefore our understanding of sanctification is just something like, Try harder, be better, we all stumble and fall so pick yourself up, dust yourself off and do your best. And with this #4 the final load of Rubble in the Well is A THOUSAND LITTLE THINGS!

The doctrine of the new birth is faintly preached in our day. The reason is that it would not be received with joy in many congregations. 1 John was a letter most gladly received to its initial recipients. The same letter preached in many of our churches would be sobering and greatly convicting. So be it!
