James 5 - The Danger of Wealth
From May I Gently Suggest - iTunes Feed by Jon Behrens
May 19, 2026 · 26 min
About this episode
The episode discusses James' condemnation of unjust wealth accumulation and its implications for healing and motivation in a spiritual context.
Writing to Hebrews, James does not present a balanced approach to wealth. Rather he simply condemns its unjust accumulation and use. Since God uses wealth to motivate us, Proverbs presents both sides of wealth. James' advice on healing mirrors that of the Great Commission.
