Martin Luther, reading the parable of the unmerciful servant, lingers on the instant mercy is received—and what a man does next. Faith, he says, cannot stay theoretical; it walks straight back into ordinary life. God doesn’t need our works, but we do, to see whether grace has truly changed us. The servant proved it hadn’t.

When others watch your life, do they see mercy lived—or mercy merely claimed?

Martin Luther, church reformer, critiques actions in the marketplace. Merchants think they may have a right to sell their goods as dear as they please, inspiring crafty and outright harmful practices. Luther says this opens every door and window to hell.

Does a medieval monk not understand economics? Or is this the repeated witness of the church? (Stay tuned!)

How can you minister to those who’ve fallen on hard times?
