HOW TO PASS THE TESTS OF LIFE
How To Pass The Test of Life
Adrian Rogers
Turn to James chapter one. And we're beginning a new study now through the book of James, practical Christianity, religion in shoe leather. And we're going to preach right on through the book of James the Lord willing. Sunday mornings and Sunday nights. So if you don't come Sunday night then you're just going to get half of it. How's that? You say, fine. No, don't say that.

Several things I want you to learn about the test of life.
Now, remember here when we're talking about testing that the word testing and the word temptation are used interchangeably. And we'll see that even more as we go on. But first of all, I want you to notice the fact of temptation. Notice in verse one. "James, a servant of G ...
