WORKING FAITH
A Study of James (James 1:1)

in the ministry going on now twenty-four (24) years. The
greatest thing that I've seen as one of the biggest problems
especially within the last five to ten years, within the last

Today, I opened the "U.S.A. Today" and looked, I love the
surveys, that's where I get a lot of the statistics that I get
from all the stats and all the surveys. It was talking about
