The Word Of God From The Book Of James

James 5
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Here James berates rich men who cheat their laborers.

More From James 5
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

And here, James counsels patience to the brethren in general especially with Jesus' return in view. The two verses seem disjointed, one directed to the rich, and then one directed toward the brethren, not the rich.

I guess, if you want to dedicate your life to Christ and also want to focus your efforts on social justice, the book of James might be a good place to begin your journey. If this is what you might want to do.

Finally From James 5
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

This particular verse is just absolutely wonderful.
