I'd like us to turn to a passage in James Chapter 1. The title of the message today is the Test of Life. I want to ask you are you passing or are you failing the test of life?
James Chapter 1, I'm going to be preaching some messages from the book of James because I feel we need it. We need to learn how to live practically the Christian life and that is what the book of James is all about.

And the professor said, "I know son, but that's the lowest grade I could give."

James is writing to Christian people who know the Lord and he says to them in Verse 2, "MY BRETHREN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU ...
