Guillame Bucanus, French-Swiss Calvinist, considers relation between faith and chairty.
Faith is an act of receiving, while Charity is an act of giving and bestowing. Faith makes us the sons of God. Charity “tries” us, as to whether we be the sons of God.
In contrast, John Piper is saying that Jesus will ask how much bible reading you’ve done.
How can you demonstrate that you are a son of God?

I had FB friends who were calling it a literacy program. Some call it a jobs program. Revolting?
How can you take pains to notice cruelty?
