James Denney, a minster in the Free Church of Scotland, considers Luke 16. The Pharisees (v.14) derided Jesus for his story on use of wealth, and so get (v. 19-31) the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Denney calls it “the story of a man who forgot to invest in charity until it was too late.”
Do we want to draw all kinds of morals from Scripture that don’t involve our neighbor’s well-being?
How can you draw a coherent moral from both parables?

Jacques Saurin, French Reformed pastor, on giving alms. He pronounces woe to those who say, “I gave at the office.” Don’t let state aid be a pretext for your own failure to give aid.
Isn’t much of contemporary religion about encouraging each other in exactly what Saurin calls “hard-heartedness”? Overstating the amount of dole, and fomenting resentment that others are getting some?
How can you give alms today?
