Jeremiah Burroughs, English Puritan, talks of intestinal disorders, in metaphor. Bowels was term for deep compassion felt in gut. Those with hard hearts to a neighbor’s plight have a corruption, a curse, and no fear of God. It’s a bad thing.

Do we today separate a fear of God and being focused on the temporal problems of the world— do we seek higher (and easier) paths than waiting on tables?

How can you check your intestines?
