Have you ever had to sacrifice your reputation, or personal safety to serve others? We may never be in a situation where we’re compelled to physically give our lives for another person. So how do we lay down our lives for the brethren?

James the brother of our Lord wrote we are to “consider it all joy” when we experience trials. Why? What does it mean to consider it “all joy” when we experience pain in trials or tests? How do we achieve such a difficult command?

The minute we come to Christ we become a threat and whether we acknowledge it or not, we are on the front lines of the most dangerous battle we will ever know.
