John Jewel, Anglican bishop, on 1 Thes 4:6, not taking advantage. Usury, as in requiring much for giving little, “undoes” those whom they “aid”: as useful to the poor as rust is to iron.

To be clear, he is not talking about a fanatical opposition to any interest, but clearly talking about exploitation of a needy person.

Do we celebrate usury today?

How can you engage in greater examination of your kindnesses?

I heard some street evangelists preach the other day. Good, solid doctrine, no politics. The only 2 gatherered had came with him.

Some day I’d like to grab a megaphone and have the courage to repeat a sermon like this. It’s not mere social gospel nor secular humanitarianism. It’s the old fashioned gospel, the evangel, which cannot be uprooted from having a heart that melts over human suffering. I wonder what the response would be?
