And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. – James 1:2-4 Trials come and trials go, but they remain constant in life. Why would God allow difficulties to happen to His faithful people? As James points out, trials produce steadfastness. We’veRead More
