John 10:27-29

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

Trials - The Purpose of Trials

Jas 1:2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into different kinds of temptations,

Jas 1:3 knowing that the trying of your faith works patience.

Jas 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.

Jas 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

Jas 1:7 For do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

Jas 1:8 he is a double-minded man, not dependable in all his ways.

Jas 1:9 But let the humble brother rejoice in his exaltation;

Jas 1:10 and the rich one rejoice in his humiliation, because he shall pass away as the flower of the grass.

Jas 1:11 For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will fade away in his ways.

Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation, because having been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Jas 1:13 Let no one being tempted say, I am tempted from God. For God is not tempted by evils, and He tempts no one.

Jas 1:14 But each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them.

Jas 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin, when it is fully formed, brings forth death.

Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brothers.

Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

Jas 1:18 Of His own will He brought us forth with the Word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruit of His creatures.

C.S. Lewis quote

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

My second Post

Well, what did you expect; a Joel Rosenberg gem?

I found my hat and cane by the way.
