James 5:17-20
Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Prayer should like Elijah, who was a man just like us.
James's final words,perhaps still in the context of prayer, concern the backslider.
When one of the fellowship turns away from God, another must go and bring them back. That return means a soul saved and sins forgiven.
Why?
Remember the power of prayer is great than we thought, Elijah is a man like us, but he can make great things so we can do it by prayer through God.
For the faith need implement with love action so when one of the fellowship turns away from God, we must go and bring him back, to save a soul from death.
How?
No matter what happened, come to the Lord and pray, God will lead me to the new way with mercy and compassion. Don't care only me but also care other brothers.

The prayer of a righteous man
James 5:13-16
In trouble: He should pray. In happy: Let him sing songs of praise.
Sick: Call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Are you in trouble Pray, then. Are you happy? Praise God. Are you ill? God heals in response to trusting prayer.
Why?
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. For God like those who confess his sins and turn to the Lord, repent and may turn to heal. The consequence of sin is dead, before the dead is ill.
Be faithful and prayer to the Lord, for God is full of mercy and compassion to us.
How?
I am got the cold now so I need to confess my sins and pray to the Lord.

Be patient and stand firm in waiting time
James 5:7-12
Be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Like farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop.
The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. Take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
My brothers, do not swear. Let your "Yes" be yes and your "No", no, or you will be condemned.
Jame continues the thought of the day of God's coming. Christians need patience in the waiting time, the patience of the farmer, the patient endurance of suffering that we see in the prophets and Job. All was well for Job in the end, and so it will be for us.
Why?
Why have to be patience in waiting time and suffering, for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
All of the suffering and pain will be ended when Jesus comes.
With hope we may learn the patient and stand firm. Do not grumble or complain for God is my hope.
If we haven't hope then everything become meaningless and full of trouble. Turn to the Lord and comes with joy and faith.
How?
Be humble and be patient and stand firm, for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

Help my neighbor as I can
James 5:1-6
Warming to rich oppressors.
Sins of the rich:
The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you.
You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.
There is a special danger in wealth. It wraps people up in false security. They are so well-insulated that they ease to feel for those who are cold and hungry.
This life is so pleasant that they forget the day of reckoning. But God sees and hears all.
In the style of an Old Testament prophet. James denounces(譴責) those who pile up riches yet pay out no wages. There are echoes of Proverbs, too, in these phrases.
Compare Jesus' parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:16-21)
Why?
Rich is not sin, but when rich is caused by failed to pay the workmen who worked for you and condemned, murdered innocent men, this rich is sin who will be charged by the Lord. They lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
How?
I am not rich but I have some may help poor, my neighbor.

Judgment is God's business
James 4:11-17
Who are you to judge your neighbor?
We are nothing but a wisp of fog. We should say "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
Anyone, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
Don't criticize and judge others: judgment is God's business.
Don't assume you have total control of your life: that is in God's hands too.
Why?
God is the Lord who set up the laws and he judge all of us by the Law. Only God has the authority to judge us.
Our life are in hand of the Lord, don't boast I want to do something, for our life like mist, disappear soon. With humble to face everyday.
How?
Thank God everyday to give me life to honor his Holy Name. I am nothing but under the mercy of God so I can stand firm here.

Whose friend are you?
James 4:1-10
What comes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?
You don not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives.
God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
James turns peace to conflict. The root cause of quarrels and fighting is envy: setting our hearts on something we want and determining to get it, no matter what.
We align ourselves with the world when we behave like that, James says.
And the world's friend is God' enemy. Don't be proud - be humble. Resist evil and submit to God who lifts up the humble.
Why?
Double-minded: One who wants the world and wants to be a follower of Christ.
God wants us turn to Him wholly, not part of us. God is envy to the sins.
James called those who friendship with the world adulterous. For they are oppose to the God. With the name of Christ but inner heart is dirty and turn to the world.
How?
Right now turn to the Lord, purity my heart, be humble before the Lord. God is Holy Lord!
