Richard John Knowling, an Anglican bishop, says ethnic prejudice leads to conflicts among Christians. “Colonial” Christians in his day oppose the sharing of the gospel w/ indigenous people, whom they don’t recognize as brothers.

Do some today want everyone to be saved, but also to adopt all our worldviews? Is a reluctance to hear other peoples’ woes what Knowling complains of?

How can you welcome all to the Lord’s table?

Alexander Balmain Bruce, Free Church of Scotland minister, on Lazarus story in Luke 16. He says its not so easy to meet Christ’s ideal of humanity, or the honor of friend of such. Can’t get it by doling out crumbs.

I never realized before that the rich man, sent to hell, had a poor man ON HIS DOORSTEP. How many of the most compassionate people would permit that?

Do we all want honors from God to be earned on the prayer couch?
