Chuck Swindoll continues in James chapter one for a deeper understanding of how to handle trials and suffering. Then, he turns to chapter two and helps us overcome the hidden prejudices in our lives.

Trouble and suffering are a reality for every member of the human race. Chuck Swindoll reminds us that those who are in Christ can turn their pain into praise and learn to trust God even in the hardest times of life.

As believers, we ought to be committed to discerning and obeying God’s will. David Burnham teaches us that this means we must be students of God’s word and daily learn to walk in obedience to Scripture.

As we learn to discern God’s will for our lives, our responsibility is to walk in obedience to it. David Burnham explains that this is a lifetime commitment and will face much testing and many trials.

Obedience to God’s word and will finds its most practical applications in our relationships. David Burnham explains that developing and sustaining a godly marriage takes a deeper kind of love and commitment than our culture suggests.
