Samuel Rutherford commissioned the Westminster Assembly. Here he speaks of the effects of communion and fellowship with God. God’s infinite benevolence is forcing good-will, kindness, love, and friendship out of us.

Have you met Christians who seem to argue for opposite fruits? “Kindness” was dissed in Reformed circles a while back.

How can you offer less resistance to God’s work in you towards good-will, kindness, love, and friendship?

Clement, church father, writes on action figures! Women would spend more money and attention on dolls of Thersites (Iliad character) than on their husband, or even or a noble, elderly woman. More money was spent on designer dog breeds than noble men.

Do we spend more time in stores that sell bobble heads than with the elderly, or orphaned children? Do we esteem action figures more than our own family. Does anything ever change?
