Robert William Dale was a Congregational pastor. Writing on doing the will of God, he reflects on principles God will judge the world (Mt 25:31ff). Jesus won’t ask about your sympathy for the hungry and miserable. Jesus will tell the righteous that they gave him meat when hungered.
John Piper, in contrast, has an alternative view, that Jesus will ask about bible reading.
How can you respond to Jesus’s needs beyond mere sympathy?
First time to check out the #CarFree #Sunday at #TomasMorato. Not my neighborhood, but easy enough to get to. I rode around and back and forth to see if the woman I met at the #bike shop yesterday would be there. Didn't see her.
Now I'm wondering if she's a human or an angel nudging me to get out early and ride more (more than my lazy Sunday church commute). 😄🙏 #cycling
I've been very cranky 🤨 and down 😓 and just aaaargh 😖 the past few weeks, so much so that I feel like quitting. #GodLovesMe 🙏
Marcus Dods, Free Church of Scotland minister, quotes the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Slavery violates the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Some need to be reminded that enslaved persons have the same feelings as ourselves.
How can you look afresh at your adversaries, people you might be hurting, as if they were a person of the same passions and feelings as yourself?
John Cook, Canadian Presbyterian, on the effect of Christianity on the world. Through opinion boldly maintained, it eliminated polygamy, and degradation. Through bold opinion.
How can you maintain opinions for dignity and well-being?
