  1. Herman Olshausen, a German Lutheran commentator, says the Good Samaritan shows love that isn’t managed or negotiated. It rises from the heart and acts, even when prudence, custom, or blame would advise restraint. Real love crosses boundaries and helps enemies . So what has trained us to hesitate—and how might we relearn to love freely?

  6. Luther says “all things are possible”, but this doesn’t mean superpowers, it means you won’t disintegrate if you give things away. Belief makes generosity survivable. Once you realise what you have is gift, not trophy, pride calms down.

    Awkwardly, that power is for your neighbour. So… what are you actually willing to put on the table?

  11. Morris Officer, founder of the first Lutheran mission in Liberia, looked squarely at the slave trade and could bear it no longer. He prayed that every trace of that cruel traffic would be washed away. His response wasn’t theory, but repentance and hope. What injustices do we dare to pray would be cleansed from our own world—and our own hearts?

  12. David Chytraeus, the Lutheran theologian, reads 1 John with unnerving clarity: to refuse love is already a kind of death. Christ’s self-giving redefines what life looks like, and when we seal our hearts against need, we quietly deny that love lives in us at all. Love, then, must become concrete—truth taking flesh in action.

    How can you show love?

  13. Martin Luther, explaining Matthew 5, presses Christ’s words to their limit: if devotion interferes with love of neighbor, devotion must wait. Luther even says God would rather see no church built than a neighbor neglected. The obstacle to worship, he suggests, may be the grievance our neglect creates. How will you seek reconciliation where duty and devotion collide?

  14. Luther says a Christian doesn’t curl up like a house cat and call it faith. You stretch. By faith, you reach up into God like a tree grabbing sunlight; by love, you reach down into your neighbour like roots in everyone’s garden. If you’re only growing upward, you’re basically a very holy stick.
