Faith-Centered Living (James 4:13-5:6)

James doesn’t pull any punches in his letter, and especially not when he is addressing the rich and the wealthy in the midst of the church. He is not condemning the act of having wealth, but rather he is condemning the acts and attitudes that flow from having wealth and riches that lead to pride and self-dependance. He is urging and pleading his readers to humble themselves before God and realize that true faith means having true dependance on God.
