Topic of the Week   (Al-Nasi 1, 1726 - Tute 2, 1727)
Temptations


Verse of the Week
"Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

- James 1:12

Meaning: We are to rejoice even in temptations. Our attitude toward them reveals whether or not we are prepared for heaven.
