Heinrich Bullinger of the Swiss Reformed church taught that Scripture warns those who refuse to help the poor from their own goods. But he spoke even more sharply against those who steal what was given for the poor. To misuse charity entrusted to the church is a grave offense before God.

Martin Bucer, German Reformer, basically says: yes, you decide how much to give—but don’t keep turning up to church with the spiritual equivalent of empty pockets because you don’t trust the committee! The poor are Christ’s little ones.
So the question isn’t “Do I approve of the spreadsheet?” but “Am I actually giving?”

Samuel Willard, Puritan in Boston, looked at “Thou shalt not kill” and sighed: it reaches the workplace too. Cruel masters who grind the belly and lash the back ruin both body and soul. Oh, and Judgment Day will remember.
So tell me—how do you treat the ones whose labor keeps your life afloat?

Henry Venn—Anglican minister and Church Missionary Society man—murmured that grace is no idle ornament. Reconciled heirs of God feel a gentle, pressing constraint: Christ’s love nudges them toward brotherly kindness and charity. Yet we bristle, redefine, retreat. Oh, but grace still asks: will love reach even those you disdain?

James William Massie, Scottish #Congregationalist minister and missionary to India, argued that Christ’s mission in Isaiah 61—healing the broken-hearted and freeing the oppressed—must also mark His ministers. No one, he insisted, can rightly claim ownership over another soul. How can the church proclaim both spiritual and earthly freedom?

Robert Horne, chaplain of Magdalen College, Oxford, noted that Scripture permits feasting—Cana was not a quinoa retreat—but condemns the sort of daily, belly-centric existence that forgets Lazarus at the gate. The sin wasn’t pudding; it was perpetual indifference. Enjoy your dinner, by all means—but have you noticed who hasn’t one?

Charles Spurgeon, a Particular Baptist preacher in London, reflected on Revelation’s Tree of Life—meant for the healing of the nations—and observed that humanity is plainly unwell, whether in distant tribes or polished cities. We now argue over which bits of civilisation are terminal while ignoring the cure. If the gospel heals nations, perhaps it also begins with small mercies—like tidying the pavement you’re standing on.

Jean Taffin, a Reformed peacemaker among quarrelling Protestants, suggested the safest investment strategy is alarmingly simple: give generously. Wealth vanishes anyway; charity deposits it with Christ. Odd how modern prudence often means guarding every coin from the poor. What might you entrust to Jesus instead?

Edward Leigh, a member of the Westminster Assembly, warns that “pinching pennies” from mercy doesn’t protect your household—it invites trouble. Citing Proverbs 11, he says hoarding multiplies burdens, while generosity lightens them. It’s almost comic: the tighter the grip, the fuller the calendar. How might mercy actually free you?

Greville Ewing, founder of the Edinburgh Missionary Society, noted that the East India Company resisted missions because the gospel unsettled profitable injustice. Faithful preaching, he assumed, makes exploitation harder to maintain. If so, which dissatisfactions do we fear today—and which conversions do we resist? How might the gospel advance with integrity?

Jean Daillé reminds the church that God does not ask for noisy prayers wrapped in empty ritual, but for lives that turn from evil and learn to do good. Justice for the oppressed, care for orphans, and defense of widows are the fragrance God welcomes with our prayers. Devotion is not replaced by action—but rightly seasoned by it. How will your prayers bear fruit in good works?

Norman Macleod, speaking with the weight of a church moderator, cites a witness who spent eleven years inside American slavery and found it sinful every time—an unhealed wound, cursing both enslaved and enslaver.
Today we bristle less at the injustice than at its exposure. So ask yourself: who bears the hidden cost of the services that carry you along?

Samuel Colcord Bartlett—Congregationalist minister, missionary leader, and later president of Dartmouth—writes with grave restraint about the condition of women under customs that deny their dignity: harmed before birth, constrained in marriage, reduced by cruel theology. His concern is not novelty but justice. If the gospel truly reshapes hearts, what injustices should it quietly but firmly undo?

Albert Barnes, a Presbyterian with a very sharp moral finger, basically says: if a widow’s kids are suffering, she’ll knock on strangers’ doors—and if you’re a Christian with a house full of cushions and cupboards, that knock is on you. A crumb from your mansion could’ve turned her place into Eden. And really—what other worldview dares accuse the comfortable like that? So… which tiny, barely-noticed bit of your surplus could you give today?

Richard Younge, a Calvinistic, English tract writer, argues that wealth is not absolute ownership but stewardship. The Master entrusts goods so the whole household may be cared for. Lavish self-spending, while others lack necessities, misuses that trust. This is not a call for coercion, but for conscience: wise, just, charitable use of what we hold. How will you steward what’s been placed in your hands?

Andrew Gray, a minister in the Church of Scotland, warns that Christians often prize visible spiritual acts—prayer, hope, religious feeling—while neglecting what he calls the “lower duties”: self-denial, mortifying sin, and charity to the poor. He insists these are not optional add-ons, but essential marks of faith. Devotion that bypasses discipline and mercy, he suggests, is quietly incomplete.

David James Burrell, a Dutch Reformed minister, is having none of it. He looks at the Opium Wars and says: picture the Queen as the Good Samaritan—she sees the wounded man, checks her schedule, mutters about trade, taxes, and empire, and steps neatly around him. Splendid commerce, dreadful mercy. Leaders, he insists, don’t get to plead busyness. And pastors don’t get to stay quiet. Now—where, exactly, are you crossing the road and calling it prudence?

A post from a contemporary #reformedtheology blog on the whole topic of the problem of evil. They say that the goodness of God is shown within the practices of the Christian community. Fair enuf.
Years ago, upon news about a disease in Africa, the editor/founder of this blog repeatedly posted on Twitter, “Now would be a good time for a travel ban from W. Africa.” Not, how may I serve these people? Not, how may I protect/heal the world (including my family)? But we will erect walls. #jesuswept

Jean Daille wrote the Apology of the French Reformed Churches. He writes on redemption & care for each other (Col 1:14 & 1 Cor 12:25-27). Christ is nothing but sweetness and love. Knowing that he lad down his life for his enemies, how can we hate and perceute our brethren?
In how many Reformed churches could one say, “Christ is nothing but sweetness and love” in a bible study.
How can you love and persevere your brethren?
