 "question": "How does God test our faith?",
 "answer": "With our knowledge of doctrine, of His Word. The test proves not what we have written down in our notebooks, nor how great is our intellect or our academic prowess. The test proves what we really know and understand and believe of the Word of God. God is a good teacher. He gives us exactly the information we need, lets us know that we are accountable for that information, and then tests us on it.",
