Leonard Black, Baptist minister in Va., laments that “enormities of slavery” had little impact on professing American Christians. Though they spilled blood to establish own freedom, 2.5 million await the same. Are they unaware?

Everyone was aware: tons of pastors spoke against it. No “men of their times.”

What can you do to learn more of enormities of slavery, and fight today’s “men of their times” arguments?

Anthony Farindon, Anglican minister, on getting closer to God. List is charity, justice, compassion, and deep feelings for suffering. Modern evangelicals instead urge exhaustive prayer and bible study. “Bowels” absent from new checklists: Farindon says that currying God’s favor, even expecting heard prayers, without bowels is BS.

How can you set aside your human efforts at merits? How can you follow God’s (actual) will?
