William Symington, Scottish Presbyterian minister, discusses charity. It’s like tearing flesh from bones for some to give. They won’t give up their “pelf” (?), or something gotten by reprehensible means. Charity must be a free-will offering.

Do we give in such a way? Do we listen to cultural voices (TV pundits, internet-preachers) who help reinforce this charity-as-tearing mindset?

How can you give more freely next time asked?
