Adolph Saphir was a Jewish Presbyterian missionary. Here he writes on Christ and the church and lists several truths. They are that we are the children of Adam, that all human beings are equal, created in the image of God, forming one family, which is called to light and holiness and blessedness. He says this truth is confirmed and illuminated by the Lord Jesus Christ.
How can we act as if one family?
Ralph Wardlaw, Scottish Congregationalist minister, says there are cases of poverty which require a refusal because of character.
Harsh? I’ve heard of development orgs giving to women, per se, over men because the husbands wasted $ on booze & gambling, but women invested in their children.
How can you be careful with your donations, yet avoid \withholding from all, based on stereotypes about “character”?
