John Charles Ryle, evangelical, Anglican bishop, comments on the social divide, the painful degradation of the poor and heartless selfishness of the highest classes. This is sin.
Today, among most of those quoting Ryle, would more say that sin is the grand cause of people criticizing wealth creators?
How can you examine your own selfishness and participation on degradation of the poor?

John Flavel, English Puritan, comments on Matthew 25. He says he knows another famous preacher who says no one understands or believes Jesus’ commands to help, or we wouldn’t see so many poor Christians. (Many take “my brethren” literally).
Do we today take evidence of suffering as evidence of our sin, or the sinfulness of the sufferer?
What from Matthew 25 today can you do for a saint?
