Life in this world is not easy and it is not perfect, but we can learn from our past, from our mistakes and press on toward the goal the upward call of Christ. James has had victory from drugs and alcohol for over 30 years. Life experiences that were one a hinderance are now a benefit for the brethren to help others to find forgiveness, and have victory in Christ Jesus.

 

What is the goal? James goal is two-fold that the gospel be shared so that all men may come to repentance. And to remind the saved how to conduct themselves within the house of God to be fully prepared to share the hope that is in them with the equipping they received when they were received by the Lord into the body.
