Notable and Quotable: James

Straight up and pulling no punches, these words in the book of James 5: 5a- "You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence..." tell it like it is.

This verse has always challenged me. Embarrassed me. Made me humble and made me think. It's not a very pleasant thought. "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." Jesus' words in the book of John liberate- but first they make us angry as we question our lives when He gets this personal. 

The 2010s changed my life and made me question everything I held dear- including how I use my money. It's really transforming to be introspective and honest with yourself. And sometimes it is just more than a bit disturbing.
