Alexander Balmain Bruce, Free Church of Scotland minster, on the Kingdom of God. The unloving cannot be admitted (James 2:13). Then he says the ambitious cannot enter the kingdom. He says even if such persons were to do work in the church, it’s actually for their own popularity and power. Surprising, but right there in Galatians 5:19-21.

Do we say those who talk about unlovingness cannot be admitted?

How can you decrease?

Martin Luther states that most of the rich and powerful do injustice and oppress the poor. Greater the man, worse the deeds. But he doesn’t call for revolution, or even a minimum wage. He urges nonparticipation and speaking the truth of calling it unrighteousness.

What would world look like if every right-leaning Lutheran at least did this? If every left-leaning Lutheran honored those who at least did this?
