Here’s what James has to say about trials and tribulations.
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.”
James 1: 1-8 (NIV).
Side bar: I should be among the most joyful Christians alive given that what we call trials in America pales in comparison to the sufferings of Christians worldwide.
I’m wishing all my followers a wonderful day and peaceful weekend. Rest and enjoy this special day. Merry of Merriest Christmas for everyone who recognizes and honors the birth of our savior. #Christmas2025
Do these passages stir your heart? Church-goers hear them every year as part of the #Advent readings.
“The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

Roger Stone nailed it: If you’re not glued to social media, you’ve probably missed the intense infighting tearing through conservative circles right now. That’s a good thing!
Let’s consider staying off the social media feed, and we won’t get dragged into the drama, or deceived by once respected voices who’ve joined the dark side.
Sometimes, we all need a digital detox.
Who else is seeking peace, unity, and real-life connections over endless online battles this Christmas/holiday season?
Let’s hear it!
