Week 11 Preview: Mine-1-1 - Wealth Warnings

We are used to seeing warning labels on just about everything we buy. Some of them are necessary; some are just downright silly. Well, in James 5:1-6, God gives us some wealth warnings we’d better pay close attention to. Ed Young relays a biblical wake-up call regarding the greed and self-indulgence so prevalent in our culture today.

James 5:1-6
1Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.

See Everyone Thursday!
