“Wealth, Work & Wisdom” – James 5:1-6 | May 21, 2023 | Pastor Chad Friestad
What do wealth, work, and wisdom all have in common? As we study this passage together in James 5:1-6, we’ll quickly realize that it’s not so much a passage of how to live, but a call and a warning of what to avoid in our wealth and our work, so that we can exercise Godly wisdom.
James 5:1-6
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 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. 4 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. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.
