Reference

PENTECOST 18 - James 1:9-11; 4:13-5:6; Psalm 19; Mark 9:38-50

James seems to have a very dim view of those who are rich. His words are sharp and it appears that wealth has no place in his understanding of how to live in Jesus's way. But as we look more closely at what is behind those words, we find that it's not so simple. And when we consider our own situation as citizens of a first-world country, we find that we cannot avoid dealing with James's words ourselves...
