    James, the half-brother of the Lord Jesus, knew about trials and tests. His words to believers of his day are just as true for us of these days, too. In a sentence, he'd say "Endure the test and receive a reward".

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
