Warning To Rich Oppressors

If you were confronted, and asked, if you are rich, you’d probably, likely say, no. Good answer. But in reality, it is not accurate, nor correct. By standards of affluent American society, you are not. But by standards of a third-world country, or the world at-large, you are very wealthy. Rich. Probably even a little excessive. James addresses this with those who have so much, and yet, retain it for themselves, instead of helping those in need. Be careful, because your wealth can be a huge hindrance to your relationship with God.
