What does faith look like? part 6

Background from the NT: James 5
Memory Verse: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. -- James 5:16

It stands against corruption and unrighteousness -- James 5:1-6

A stark warning of things to come for those whose treasure is their riches
A reminder that God hears the cries of innocent victims
It stands in support of those who faithfully endure -- James 5:7-11
Another reference to the Harvest Principle, chapter 3, verse 18
Repeating the themes of chapter 1, verses 2-4
"The end of the Lord" is marked by His mercy

It is linked with prayer -- James 5:13-18
In case of troubles, PRAY
In case of sickness, PRAY
In case of sin, PRAY
