James 5:1-6, When Gold Speaks Out, Outline “Take-home” truth: Those with living faith resist the seduction of wealth. Introduction: James 5:1-12 develops the seventh mark of living faith: those with living faith reject materialism. This passage unfolds some profound implications for us because we live in the wealthiest nation that has ever existed. The concern here is not money or the possession of money, but rather what you do with the money and the attitudes that you have toward money. Nothing more clearly reveals the state of a person’s heart than his view of money and material possessions.

Introduction: James takes on the issue of practical atheism in our text today. By practical atheist, I mean someone who, in the day to day choices of life, does his own thing, with little or any consideration to the will of God, or even to the existence of God. Throughout chapter 4 he’s taking on our selfish pride in its many manifestations. By contrast, he labors in each section to demonstrate that those with living faith value humility. Today James will show us how humility will transform our pretentious worldliness, an attitude that acts as if God has nothing to do with our lives on a practical level.
