    Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

It came from a projection that if the divorce rate continued to raise by 2% each year, that it could reach that level. But it never actually did. It’s probably closer to 30 to ...read more

     | 3,242 views

    Trials and tests are no fun. James doesn’t tell us to consider it fun but to "consider it all joy." Trials and tests are gut wrenching and drawn out at times, but the one thing that we must know is that God is with us through the whole ordeal.
