In this section of his letter, in which he addresses the inevitable trials that will come to followers of Jesus Christ, James draws an important distinction between trials (which come from without) and temptation (which arises from within). As Christians, we must not blame God for our temptations (for He tempts no one). Nor can we blame Satan when we are tempted. Rather, "each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust" (James 1:14). In this sermon, "Check the Source," Pastor Jesse Randolph challenges us to remember who is ultimately responsible for temptation (and responding to temptation), as he addresses these and other topics in his verse-by-verse exposition of James 1:13-18.
