In this episode of Moments of Worship, Pastor Keith McMinn examines James 5:1–3, where believers are warned against placing their trust in earthly riches. Using the image of decaying treasure, he shows how wealth that once seemed valuable eventually corrodes and bears witness against the heart that clings to it. Pastor Keith explains that James’s call to “weep and howl” is not about poverty but repentance—a call to turn from misplaced confidence in possessions and to treasure Christ above all. This episode challenges listeners to hold their resources with open hands, investing in what is eternal rather than what fades, and to find true wealth in the unchanging grace of God.
