Read my thoughts on this chapter:

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.  And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.  {Verses 2-4}

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. {Verse 22}
