All people have problems, challenges, and trials--Christians too! James 1:2-8 makes this plain and reminds us not "if" but "when" they come to experience God's "joy." Not "happiness" but joy! What's that about? How can we learn to exist "by faith" in what comes our way by either our own actions or those of others? We will explore both spiritually and positive examples of Scripture at times by the same person. At the end we will more than ever see that God is guiding us towards His purposes for our good.
