  1. B.B. Warfield was a professor of #reformed theology, says the divine example is a life of self-sacrificing unselfishness. This is the most beautiful life that can be led.

    I’ve seen many object to this idea, saying that to call Christ an Example must necessarily preclude Him from being a Savior.

    How can you imitate our Master and Example?

  2. Richard Sibbes, Puritan, says that God made the rich to relieve the poor, and the poor to pray for the rich (based on 2 Cor 1:11, James 2:5, and a sermon by Augustine).

    How many griping about foreign aid would sit still for this teaching? Do we ask the poor to pray for the rich?

    How can you pray for those with greater wealth than yourself? How can you view the poor as appropriate stewards of your wealth?
