In a world full of trials and temptations, today’s passage offers a sobering reminder that deception and death wait for those drawn away by desire, but rewards and eternal life come to those who patiently endure for righteousness’ sake. Fortunately, when a person is born again, we can overcome Satan’s temptations to sin by looking to the crucified Christ for the power to resist evil desires. Please open your Bible to James chapter one, and join Pastor Ray Viola as he begins his study of verses twelve through sixteen.
