  1. Dutch Reformed missionary Andrew Murray notes that in Luke 16 Lazarus is praised for no special virtue, and the rich man is condemned for no scandalous crime—only for ignoring Lazarus’s suffering. The sin is comfortable neglect. Faith that guards doctrine yet trains us not to notice pain misses the warning. How are we learning to see—and respond to—the poor at our gate?

  6. John McDowell, Presbyterian minister in NJ, comments on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. He says that Christians can fall into sins of wastage, miserliness, and oppression. Hard to convince people it’s going on, despite repeatedly mentioned in Scripture.

    This is about one of the 10 commandments. Could we post this next to the 10C?

    How can you be open to areas into which you might have fallen into covetousness?

  7. John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople, speaks of riches. He says injustice is `inherently tied to great wealth, and asks reader to trace it back to the Garden, where God never instituted anyone wealthier than others.

    I won’t allow myself a second of snobbery at Chrysostom’s misunderstanding of economics until I have an hour to share in his indignation at the scandal of poverty.
