David Thomas, a Congregationalist minister and editor of a preaching magazine, notes that Scripture everywhere keeps nagging us to remember the poor, to help them—indeed, to “compassionate” them. Apparently this is not a niche hobby.
Rick Warren once said no one warned him about two thousand bible of verses about the poor. We’re still not being taught there is such a thing.
So yes: how, precisely, do you compassionate the poor?

John Owen, Puritan minister, decries the Inquisition, with its “fierce, cruel, oppressive, vindictive, bloody” approach to dissent. The RC church convinced the world this was the gospel. The true gospel was lost.
Ever met anyone who believes a little vindictiveness is justified when defending “true (or no) religion”?
How can you make sure your proclamation is free of fierceness, cruelty, oppression, vindictiveness, and blood?
