Episode Summary:In this episode, we explore James’ stark warning about wealth and where we place our trust. Though directed at corrupt landowners, his real audience is us—the church. He reminds us that money can harden hearts, fuel injustice, and ultimately deceive us with a false sense of security. But God is just—He sees oppression, hears the cries of the mistreated, and will have the final word. The challenge for us? To surrender our wealth to God, trust in Him over riches, and live for what truly lasts.Scripture: ''Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you."Connect:Thanks for taking the time to listen to Talk Scripture.
