2. Simple Christianity: Studies in James 1:9-11 see your self-worth in God, not money

James, the brother of Jesus, wrote this letter to help believers love God with an undivided heart. The heart is the seat of our loves but sin causes a disordering of our loves. When our loves pull us in different directions we become fragmented, or, as James puts it, double-minded and unstable. True joy comes from loving One Being - God, Who is love. James 1:9-11 and James 2:1-7See your self as valued by God - do not get your sense of self-worth from money.1. God exalts those the world thinks of as lowly2. God humiliates those who are 'rich' - those who derive their sense of worth from money     "You can't love both God and money" Matthew 6:24
