Welcome to SouthwestIt doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done;

you matter infinitely to God—which is why you mean so much to us.

our real lives, making mistakes, experiencing victory and joys, doing our

best with what we’ve been given, finding our next steps toward Jesus and

helping others do the same.

James 4:13-17 - 5:1-6 NIV

4 13Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this

or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your

life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do

this or that.” 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it,

sins.

5 1Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery

that is coming upon you. 2Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten

your clothes. 3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will

testify against you and eat your f lesh like f ire. You have hoarded wealth

in the last days. 4Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who

mowed your f ields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters

have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5You have lived on earth in

luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of

slaughter. 6You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were

not opposing you.
