Timothy Dwight, grandson of Jonathan Edwards, imagines a revival of kindness so deep it would resemble Paradise restored: doors open to the poor and stranger, hearts ready to welcome, hands eager to relieve distress. Wealth would exist to bless; poverty only to invite generosity. The vision unsettles because it demands real openness. How might such kindness begin in us?

William Beveridge, Anglican minister, sketches a demanding portrait of Christian life: deeper devotion, real humility, thicker charity, greater justice—yes, more just than most. He grounds it in Christ’s call to let our light shine, which clearly assumes a contrast with the surrounding dark.
Are these what we now sneer at as virtue-signalling— or is this authentic faith? How will you let your light shine?

George Phillips was a Puritan minister. Here he summarizes the parable of Lazarus and the Rich man from Luke 16. He’s not advocating any kind of revolt, or even taxation, he’s just speaking of a moral issue. Poor people are pining. Are we reclining?
Can you make a moral statement that doesn’t quickly devolve into a wooden political policy position?

Thomas Cranmer was an Anglican reformer, burned at the stake under Mary I. Here he writes on the Lord’s Prayer, specifically, “Give us this day our daily bread,” and the implications of “OUR”. He laments it was very clear that the rich and greedy spent more money on parties that’s sharing with the poor.
Was this mere class warfare, or a preacher calling people to repent?
How can you consider the poor in your daily bread?#christian #food #fivepointcalvinist #theologymatters #examinedlife
