These folks sorely need to hear the following words from the Bible: The Book of James in the New Testament: (quote):
"JAS 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
JAS 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding you give them not those things which are needful to the body; what does it profit?
JAS 4:13 Come now, you that say, "today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:"
JAS 4:14 Whereas you don't know what will happen tomorrow . For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
JAS 4:15 For that you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live, and do this, or that.
JAS 4:16 But now you rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
JAS 5:1 Come now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
JAS 5:2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
JAS 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days
JAS 5:4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which by you is kept back through fraud, cry out: and the cries of them which have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
JAS 5:5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
JAS 5:6 You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
