Cary Cox, from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Paul is concerned about what we are looking at.

Trials, Tests, and Temptations – James Study 4
Cary Cox, from James 1:12-15. James encourages us to endure through trials. God tests us for our good, to reveal what is inside us. But temptations come from our own corrupt desires. Sin leads to death. Let us run from sin and put our faith in the Lord, even as we suffer through trials. There is joy on the other side!
