Within a few years, we were able to change 15 laws (10 concerning trafficking and 5 concerning adoption), we helped rescue and restore many survivors of sex trafficking in Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. It was a special season of ministry where we were able to bring change in Korea as a church. Throughout this letter of James, he will contrast the sparkle of true faith verses the signs of dead faith.īack in 2013, I was pastoring in South Korea and was able to witness a church come alive as we lived out our faith in ways I had never seen before. This is the test that is spoken of first in the book of James.
It is the test of suffering in our lives. It is a test that will show if faith is alive or dead. And in a similar way, there is a test that makes clear the kind of strength and genuineness of faith that resides within a believer. When placed side-by-side, even an untrained eye will be able to easily tell the difference between the two. A real diamond will sparkle with a special brilliance, while an imitation stone will have no sparkle at all. One test concerning the genuineness of a diamond is for a jeweler to place it in clear water. Series: The Book of James - When Faith Works
