James 5:1-6 Wealth is a Good Tool to Steward But A Horrible God to Worship

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.”

4 Indictments Against the Ungodly Rich Hoarding (v. 2-3)

Matthew 6:19-21 “19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

4 Indictments Against the Ungodly Rich Hoarding (v. 2-3) Fraud (v. 4)

Deuteronomy 24:14-15 “14 You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. 15 You shall give him his wages on the same day, before the sun sets (for he is poor and counts on it), lest he cry against you to the Lord, and you be guilty of sin.”

4 Indictments Against the Ungodly Rich Hoarding (v. 2-3) Fraud (v. 4) Indulgence (v. 5)

1 Timothy 6:17 “As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.” Ecclesiastes 5:10 “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.”

“Material wealth only temporarily quenches the soul’s thirst for meaning and acceptance. Acquiring wealth to cure the problem of meaninglessness is like drinking coffee to solve the problem of exhaustion. It can mask the problem, but it cannot cure it.” Dan Doriani

4 Indictments Against the Ungodly Rich Hoarding (v. 2-3) Fraud (v. 4) Indulgence (v. 5) Cruelty (v. 6)

Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

Application: Using Money Wisely Tithe: Keeps money in its proper place—stewards not owners. Save: But don’t hoard or trust in money. Learn to be content. Pay your bills on time and avoid credit card debt. Be honest in all financial dealings and try to create win/win situations. Fight against unjust systems that oppress the poor. Nurture a spirit of gratitude and generosity. We reflect God who has given generously and graciously when we do the same.
