James 2 - 5:33 .
James 3 - 10:58 .
James 4 - 14:07 .
James 5 - 17:08 .
Psalm 50 - 21:04 .
After spending some time writing to the church concerning trials and temptations, James writes about the role of works in the believer’s life, citing specific works such as caring for orphans & widows in their distress and avoiding favoritism. It is not one’s work that earns him salvation, rather, good works are the evidence that one is a true disciple. Faith without works is a dead faith. He calls man’s tongue a “restless evil, full of deadly poison,” and points to self-centered passions as the cause for conflict amongst brothers. He chastises the rich who withhold wages from the poor and calls out businessmen who plan presumptuously. Finally, he calls the church to humility, encouraging them to trust in the Lord.
