"The Danger of Not Being Rich Towards God"
James 5:1-6
1 | Coming Misery Because Their Riches Were Selfishly Hoarded (v. 1-3)
2 | Coming Misery Because Their Riches Were Unjustly Gained (v. 4)
3 | Coming Misery Because Their Riches Were Lovelessly Wasted (v. 5)
4 | Coming Misery Because Their Riches Were Violently Acquired (v. 6)
Concluding Takeaways:
(1) The Bible views wealth ambiguously
(2) Since God owns everything (Ps 24:1), we serve as stewards of the parts of creation he has placed under our authority
(3) Poor stewardship is ultimately a sinner's problem with God. Matthew 25:14 You are a hard man.
(4) Its easy to think this text doesn’t apply to many of us.
(5) Neither wealth nor poverty is necessarily an indicator of personal righteousness.
(6) Scripture says poverty with godliness is preferred to mere material wealth.
(7) There are warnings in Scripture but no condemnation of riches.
(8) We should help the poor.
(9) The Bible does not encourage any able-bodied person to continually live off donations of others.
(10) God promises numerous blessings to those who steward their resources:
(a) God is pleased.
(b) Our giving advances the work of the kingdom of God.
(c) There is Heavenly Reward.

"The Tongue: A Small But Representative Member"
James 3:1-12
1 | The Tongue Is Evidence (3:1-2)
2 | The Tongue Is Powerful (3:3-5a)
3 | The Tongue is Destructive (3:5-6)
4 | The Tongue Is Uncontrollable (3:7-12)
5 | The Tongue is Revealing (3:9-12)
Steps For Addressing the Problem Tongue:
(1) Be mindful that the depth of your sin and your need of saving grace are all evidenced in your words
(2) Remember (if you are a believer) you are a new creation in Christ
(3) Ferguson: The slaying of inner pride and the illumination of our minds in regeneration create a new disposition and affection. The true convert will have a Jacob-like limp in his speech…because in spiritual anatomy…the heart and the tongue are directly connected
(4) Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...

Harmonizing Paul and James:
(1) Depending entirely on Christ is how we are justified and bear fruit.
(2) Both Paul and James both teach that new creation comes from God’s sovereign, gracious initiative (James 1:18…Ephesians 2:4-7)
(3) Paul and James both teach that salvation is linked to the effective power of the gospel (James 1:18; Eph 1:13; Rom 10:17…)
(4) Fruitful Faith is necessary (James, this text) (Paul Ephesian 2:8)
(5) Paul and James are addressing different concerns.
(6) Paul and James use "works" in different ways.
(7) Paul and James use the word “justify” in different ways.
(8) Paul actually teaches the same point James teaches (Gal 5:6…Ephesians 2:10…Romans 6:1-4)
