Do or Dead – Intro (Jas. 1:1-4)
James 1:1-4
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:
Greetings.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faithproduces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
