Ralph Wardlaw, Congregationalist, reflects on Ecclesiastes 5:8-20; James 2:5; and Psalm 72:4. He urges against oppression because Jesus, King of Zion, has largely chosen the poor as his subjects.

When you hear of the poor, do you think of “God’s people”, or do you protect your wallet? Which way are your faith leaders driving you?

How can you avoid oppression on one hand, and favoritism on the other?

George Henry Gerberding, Lutheran synod president, advises “The Lutheran Pastor,” and condemns tobacco. To indulge in something so injurious is sin. And people, can we not do this in public places?

In the 90’s, smoking in movies for kids was a big no-no. Now shows how hip young people are, we see it everywhere all at once. MJ is smoked in nonsmoking places.

How can you refrain from injuring others’ health by indulgence?
