b'As Thanksgiving approaches, Americans across this great nation plan to gather with their families around lavish feasts to indulge in some of the best foods. The following day we\\u2019ll run off to the mall to load up on all the coolest gadgets and best gifts we absolutely need. But first, as \\u201cchance\\u201d would have it, this Sunday we will read from James 5:1-6 of how those who \\u201chave lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence\\u201d should \\u201cweep and wail for the misery that is coming upon you.\\u201d Yikes! What should we do with a passage such as this one in James? Does it mean that the American culture is completely sinful and we should feel guilty of the conveniences each of us has in our home? Or should we write these verses off as not applicable to our own culture? Sunday we are going to look at wealth from God\\u2019s perspective and learn what our own posture should be towards it. It couldn\\u2019t come at a better time! -Ryan Lenerz'
