How can trials be a joy? Trials affect development of character leading to spiritual maturity. The true church will be protected and fed until spiritual maturity is reached.

Conquer Your Fears – Revisited
Mr. John Durrad 01-26-2019 (from 12-26-2009)
In this world, the minds of mankind is enslaved to fears. Fear can be managed if we learn to conquer our fears. We need to fear the Eternal. In doing so we will gain wisdom and knowledge that will conquer our fears.
Seven steps to conquer fear:
- Faith. Start with faith in God. We cannot fear God properly without faith in Him.
- Knowledge. Clean up our character by developing all the fruits of the Spirit.
- Temperance. Master temperance (self control) in all things in order to have proper control over mind and body.
- Patience. Develop broadness of mind by waiting for results under trial, the opposite of worrying.
- Godliness. Desire to be like God in character.
- Brotherly kindness. Decide not to be lukewarm by striving for brotherly kindness through the mastery of the fruits of the Spirit.
- Add love to brotherly kindness. Love is the perfection of God’s laws according to their spiritual intent. Love is directed away from self.
