William Henry Bennet, Congregationalist minister, says in Jeremiah there were three indictments (22:3,17, 26:15) of the shedding of innocent blood. The covetous attacked the helpless, the poor, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow. Judges helped it along.

Now, we oppose this rhetoric, unless it’s the “oppression” of wearing masks.

How can you work against your own covetousness?

John Dod, Puritan minister, on pure religion from James 1:27. Charity is not totality of religion, but sure sign of faith. God would have children of God respected and relieved.

Today, is pity something that some in the church are trying to de-prioritize?

How can you be pitiful and liberal towards the Children and Saints of God?
