Five steps, one a day, a few minutes each. Here they are on one verse from this set:
James 1:13-14 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
