Rudolf Ewald Stier, Lutheran pastor, considers Lazarus + Ecclesiasticus: “do good to a friend before thou die”. The rich man’s guilt is shown that Lazarus lay there.
Stier does not ask how whether the rich man gave more than heathens, or if Lazarus were of high character. Stier draws guilt at the existence of unaided misery before one’s eyes.
How can you consider the misery and end of man?

Arthur Hildersham, Puritan minister, writes on Psalm 51: hearts made more like God’s are interested in charity. One has to “violently restrain” one’s heart not to respond to cries for help.
Would some today teach opposite of the Puritans: that a heart made like God’s would be less distracted by temporal cries around him, have more hours to spend on devotions each morning?
How can you act on tugs of a heart made more like God’s?
