George Swinnock, nonconformist minister, writes on Prov 23:10. God would have no one oppressed, not even the rich!
… but especially not the weak and poor. The more they are unable to help selves, the sooner that God will arise to help them. Though they be weak, they have a strong Redeemer.
How can you help all be confident in a Redeemer, who might give them pause in their conduct against those to be redeemed, but also provide an eternal hope?

Charles Elliott, a Southern Methodist pastor, recalls the actions of his church-kin in KS. A judge heard a church was going to hire an anti-slavery pastor, and led a mob with knives to break up a worship service.
A similar mob was headed to a black church on the night of the Charlottesville riot.
How might you put away your bowie knives?

William Mackergo Taylor, Congregationalist minister in Edinburgh and NYC, writes on Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Ignoring a beggar at the gate isn’t just politically incorrect, it indicates unfaithfulness. Much like the wicked servant in Luke 19.
Today would we view it as sign of unfaithfulness to criticize the giving patterns of others?
How can you look at what you are hiding away in napkins today?

Gervase Babington was an Anglican minister. Here he reflects on “Give us this day our daily bread”. He says “our” bread means others have a part of what God gave us.
Is this disturbing? Are we at risk of selective use of the Christian community: when we want our politics to reign, we invoke national Christian uniformity, but if it’s needs, then our sect is no bigger than local church.
How can you view that others have a part with you?
