What I learned ...

Take trials joyously!  Result will be endurance.  Endurance > perfect and complete.  Ask all things of God in faith without doubt.  (For with doubting you will receive nothing.)  Humble the Lord > The man who pursues riches will pass away.  If you persevere under trial you will receive the crown of life as Christ promised to those who love Him.

God permits temptation from Satan > He Himself does not tempt.

Man's lust > sin > (spiritual) death

Be quick to hear, but think about what you say and watch your anger because anger does not glorify God.  The Word can save your souls - so listen to it.   Do not only read the Word but live the Word > blessed by God.

Keep yourself unstained by the world.
