Ill-Gotten Gain — Part One

by Alistair Begg

James 5:1–6
 (ID: 2609)

What does the Bible say about those who have lots of money? In the fifth chapter of James, we find a stinging rebuke to those who misuse their wealth. Alistair Begg instructs those who have been blessed with fortune to stay humble, put their hope in God instead of in their wealth, and share their resources with those in need.
