You have peace that passes understanding, and that's what we'll be able to share with others, even in difficult times.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley highlights the message of James to a generation facing great temptation. Since we are God's children and he is content gingerly showering us with gifts from the perfection of his throne. Why should evil have even the slightest attraction for us? So take temptation. Can't get to the curb and walk into the light of the glory of God.

Pastor Ray Bentley with insight today on our times of testing. Every child of God has a unique path that is designed by God to bring you into areas where you will be tested. He tests us to let us know what's really in our hearts or what areas need to be worked on. He does not test us so that he can find out what's in our hearts.

Some real life insights today from pastor Ray Bentley. You were never going to get to the point where you're not going to have bad thoughts or wicked thoughts, or lustful thoughts, or prideful thoughts or covetous thoughts. But Lord, what can I do? He will not condemn you for having the thought. But now take that thought captive and say, Christ.

People follow their hungers. Passion. Popularity. Pleasure. Pastor Ray Bentley says God wants us to exercise self-control. All of the normal desires that you have. They are not sinful in and of themselves. And in fact, without those desires, we couldn't function as human beings. It is when we seek to satisfy these desires outside of God's will that we get into trouble.

Pastor Ray Bentley on God's plan for our lives. God's goal for your life and mine is maturity. Too often our prayers are spent wanting to be sheltered from the very things that will bring that maturity and trustworthiness. God cannot build our character without our cooperation. If we resist him, he will chastened us into submission. If we choose to submit to him, he will accomplish his work, and that is our maturity.

With the problems of life. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Today, pastor Ray Bentley has encouragement for each and every one of us. All of us are facing a variety of trials in our lives right this moment. But how many of us say when we are being tested? Lord, what I really desire and what I really need is wisdom.

Pastor Ray Bentley shows us how we can consider it joy when we face various trials. When you go through horror, it draws you close to him. If you are a child of God, no matter what happens to me physically, no matter what diagnosis the doctor shares, no matter what financially is taken away from me. I have learned by experience and I have passed the test.

Problems come in tangled clumps like bird's nest. Pastor Ray Bentley says untangling is the Lord's specialty. How many of us have gone out and made a bird's nest out of our lives? And we go, oh, man, I can't do anything with this. Our father is very, very good at untangling the mess and then putting the pole back in our hands to make us fishers of men and women once again spreading disease.

Pastor Ray Bentley has words of reassurance for troubling times. Our God is a God of peace. And no matter what happens in the next few years, your God will pick up the pieces. He will order your steps. He will take care of you. He will heal all your wounds. He will fill all that may be lacking in your life.
