Taming the Tongue

James 5:1-6 - Polluted!

In James 5:1-6, we see one of the harshest warnings in the whole of the New Testament as James warns the early church against a love of money. James exposes three ways wealth can corrupt us: polluted treasures (trusting in temporary riches), polluted relationships (exploiting others for financial gain), and polluted hearts (allowing greed to harden us towards God and people).
