Faith
Run — and Remember Who Is With You
Joseph’s faithfulness points us to a greater faithful Son — Jesus Christ — who resisted every temptation without sin.

Unstained by the World
James 1:27 - "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: To visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

The Gospel and the Words We Speak
James 1:26: “If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.” James does not aim this verse at irreligious people, but at churchgoers.
