The Cries that Reach the Ears of the Lord

James 5:1-6 | Undivided: Grace for Change from the Book of James | Trent Hunter James 5:1–6 brings us to James’ sharp condemnation of the worldly rich who oppress the poor. He is not writing as to be heard by them but, rather, to be heard by the church, thereby to comfort the church and warn believers against envying the rich. The rich unbelievers who harm the church have made a grave miscalculation, investing in this world's riches at the expense of eternal life.
