The audio was transferred from audio cassette. The service opens up with a reading of Scripture which is also used as the source text for the message: James 1:16-25. This takes place from 0:06-1:55. Dr. Kurt Anders Richardson speaks from 2:03-18:49. Richardson remarks that God's good gifts are offered to those who look to the wisdom of God's Word. He says that God is not the author of temptations but of trials and good gifts to persevere through them. We cannot merely listen to God's Word, Richardson notes that has to obey and follow it and let the Lord do His perfecting work within the believer.
