Getting Through Trials and Temptations
- Tim Gates
(James 1:1-2) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds... James reminds us where temptations and struggles in life come from…the evil one. He teaches us how Satan works through temptations to entice us to sin…but how we can overcome temptation. (James 1:16-17) Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
